Trisquire, I'm guessing that a high percentage of the pattern folks use a method close to what I described for skinning foam wings. I've never had a skin lift or bubble on me.

Ref vaccum bagging, I'm aware of the benefits and I'm sure some of the pattern kit designers/builders are bagging. Generally speaking though, it's my impression that the competitive gliders and thin-winged pylon racers etc benefit a lot more from the vaccum bag process. Might be viewed as overkill by most pattern types??..............Anyone else?.........I'm certainly not the best person to answer that question.
