Default Build a Wood Q500 Fuselage
The parts were placed between layers of peel ply and laid on the vacuum bag (4 mil thick piece of tarp).

The vacuum line was placed next to the parts. Paper towels were placed over the parts.

A seam of latex caulking was run around the parameter of the parts. A piece of tarp was placed on to seal the vacuum bag.

The vacuum pump was turned on. Mine is set to pull about 6" of Hg vacuum.

After verifying that there were not leaks, it was left to dry.
