Do you have to vac bag or can you just put alot of weight on the cores?


Weight is just fine. Most guys probably do the weights as apposed to the vac bagging. Just make sure the surface you lay up the foam pieces is perfectly flat! Also, make sure the surface remains perfectly flat as you put on all the weight (Some guys will set 400 lbs on the wings).

I use a piece of particle board to put on top of the wing chucks and then put on cement blocks evenly over the entire top of the board. DO NOT put weights directly on the foam chucks or you will assure yourself of a warped wing/tail/rudder. Don't ask how I know this.
