Now it was time to build my first part. First attempt was reasonable, but showed that I really needed to vacuum bag the parts to force the cloth down into the mold corners.

So, more research and I ended up building a compressed air driven vacuum pump and buying more supplies; vacuum bags and clamps, breather cloth.

First vacuum bag attempt worked well and I ended up with a usable fin cap.
