RE: Stinger Build Thread
Lay the assembly in the vacuum bag. Place a long piece of paper towel on top of the shucks.
The extra length of plastic was laid over the top of the skins. There is a layer of caulking between the 2 pieces of tarp. You have to smash the bead of caulking to form the seal. Go around the outside and particularly check any folds that exist in the plastic tarp.
Apply some weight to the top of the shucks as needed until they lay flat on the surface.
Turn on the vacuum pump and gradually pull the air from the bag. When the bag is almost flat turn off the pump and readjust parts as needed to lay flat. Turn the pump back on and allow it to pull down to 6" of Hg vacuum. Mine shuts off when it gets to this level. Other types are adjusted to only reach that level of vacuum.
Once everything seals up you leave it alone until the epoxy dries. Allow to dry approximately 24 hours before removing from the bag.
