Ever wonder how professional mechanics get ultimate results in their car hoods, boat hulls and forged parts? Vacuum bagging is the answer. Vacuum bagging creates a more stable curing process delivering a more durable part. By creating a sealed vacuum after layup, you control the variables that weaken your part, like:
PRO TIP: Too much resin makes your composite brittle. By removing excess resin with vac bagging, you create a lighter and stronger part. Lower resin-to-fabric ratio = Greater strength-to-weight ratio
With vacuuming bagging, you’ll work smarter not harder. Here’s how the process works:
