Default DO-IT-YOURSELF VACUUM BAGGING??

Hi guys
If some of you could please talk me through how to do a at home vacuum bagging system I would appreciate. Here's what I got, I made a foam male plug of a wing. I haven't glassed it or anything yet. What I'd like to do is to make a top cover from this plug, the center section of an AT6 wing where the front wheel wells are integrated with the airfoil. I've been reading stuff on the internet and frankly I dont understand anything about a release film, breather layer. I have access to a vac pump with a regulator. I thought I could just cover the foam plug with a plastic shrink covering to act as a barrier and release layer, lay up my layers of cloth/mat and put in a bag and pull about 16-18"'s of vac and let it cure. But after reading a bit it sounds a bit more invlolved.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
