Vacuum Bagging Both sides at same time

Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone vacuumes both sides of the board at the same time? this would realy speed up my glassing. If so any tricks or things i should know?

 

There’s plenty info in the archives on one-step lamination…just put it in a bag if you have the motivation…it won’t be any faster or cheaper with all the bag time and materials, but you should be able to reduce a tiny amount of resin volume if that’s what you are trying to do.

contrary to Wildy’s comment …

up side , it will halve your bagging time…

down side , if you dont get it right first time , youve pretty much stuffed your board or will have a way harder time recovering it…

if your talking high density core , with thin laminate skins , its a no brainer …

1lb or less , and you have challenges to over come and will need way more infrastructure to do it effectively and probably not worth the effort and cost in a back yard set up…

production faclity , for sure , its how it should be done …

regards
