I want to give this a try. For those of you who use vac bags for laminating your sides. what size do you recommend?


Thanks
Richard

Don't get too small a bag - if you're laminating over a mold, the bag should be large enough to allow a lot of drape, in order to press everywhere. The 4 X 4 footer from Vacuum Pressing is adequate, and the least expensive vinyl number has all the flexibility and durability you'll want. My bags have done hundreds of parts each, and they show no signs of dying.
