[seefo at san.rr.com]

FWIW Jim.. I built a bagging system using info from a thread on RC Groups from Richard Jarel for about $25 that I've done A LOT of work with very nicely.

Regulated vacuum source needs to be continuous in these set-up, until the epoxy sets. Do get the extra sealing rods they sell...very simple and reusable. If the epoxy will contact the bag, do get the peel ply stock. Don't get the breather...regular paper towels work great as breather material

This set-up differs from the other vacuum set-ups in that the bag seals after vacuum is pulled. The vacuum source requirement is temporary. The amount of vacuum is moderate at around 18" Hg
