vacum bagging
Hi Everyone
I have just built a vacum bag system thanks to the threads on here. I want to laminate some nomex honeycomb and also some endgrain balsa. I want to have the finished surface flat and mirror like. I understand from reading that you use a release film that allows the resin and air to still pass through. Do you use peel ply after the release film to soak up the extra resin. Can you do both side of the balsa or nomes at the same time . I just want to make flate plates. I will be using 195gm carbon fiber cloth. Also what pressure should bu used. Thanks for any information

RE: vacum bagging
What I would is to do a grp layup of 6oz csmwith gelcoat of course all layed onto a sheet of glass then cut this panel into the sizes that you want and you can then use one piece eitherside of your carbon nomex layupthis will give a mirror finnish
