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.

wide. The 36" wide material is large enough to accommodate both panels of a
wing, side by side. 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

Auto regulation isn't necessary-- a simple bleeder valve works great. The
small pump indicated at the ACP site only pulls 8"Hg (good enough for wing
skinning but not high enough for firwall lamination for example)

of a FoodSaver Vacuum Food Sealer system or similar. The bags come in widths
up to 10" by at least 50 feet long. 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
