Default RE: vaccuum bagged pattern wings?

Sorry guys, I was actually talking about epoxy/glass/carbon skins on pattern wings.

The glider guiders have been using relatively high density foams (60lb) and skinning with epoxy and glass/carbon layups straight onto the wing, providing them with a glass smooth, pre painted wing.

Obviously considering we're not working with wings with 6% sections, we can go for lighter density foams, but is it possible?
