Default RE: Vacuum or Press?

Tom,

You can use the bags repeatedly? That was my one issue with vacuum, was having to buy bagging material on a regular basis. If that is a non-issue, it makes vacuum look very good. And storage in the shipping box is also a VERY nice bonus. I do not have a huge shop area for building (yet, I'm working on that) and being able to just pack it all away again is a great feature. I don't expect to ever do wings bigger than maybe a 96" for a 1/3 scale Laser, so a couple different sizes of bag should do me for quite some time. Is it reasonable to lay up two wings, stack them with MDF boards and a bit of weight, then use a tee fitting to draw down both bags simultaneously? Or is it too hard to set up two wings fast enough while using polyurethane glues?

You may have just sold me...

Thanks,
Mark
