Default Q500 Smorgasbord

The following is how I vacuum bag the wing:

1) Place the wing on an oversized piece of plastic tarp. I typically purchase approximately 4 mil thick by 36" wide.
2) Put a piece of rope on the outside of the wing to provide ventilation.
3) Tape the vacuum hose near the rope.
4) Lay a layer of paper towel on top of the wing shucks.
5) Apply a bead of latex caulking around the edge of the bag.
6) Close the bag and mash the caulking for a good seal.
7) Turn on the vacuum pump. Mine is set to provide about 6" of Hg vacuum.

The air should pull out of the bag and the pump should turn off when the vacuum is reached.

Double check for leaks after a few minutes of operation. If there are leaks, specifically check around the creases of the plastic tarp.
