vacuum bagging
I am building my own pair of skis but don't have the money to buy/make a press. I've heard vacuum bagging can be an alternative, and my question is, does anyone have any tips or pointers on how to make this system more effective?

Vacuum Bagging
twizzstyle, I am asking this very general question because I am making the skis for a project in school and have a limited timeframe. I just joined because I just figured out about this website. I appreciate your input but don't jump to conclusions so quickly next time. Thanks.

Re: Vacuum Bagging
Fair enough. Everything you need to know has been discussed in the forums here. I know there is a lot to sift through, but it's all here and you'll learn a ton just browsing/reading. Your question is extremely vague. Read first, ask later.Jackson M wrote:twizzstyle, I am asking this very general question because I am making the skis for a project in school and have a limited timeframe.

Hello,
It is doable as a school project, I did it with mitigated sucess. But read the forum and research, it will be even more convenient and will bring you much more than just asking vague questions.
Try to find a school that might allow you to use their vacuum bagging equipment. They have experience which will probably help you quite a lot.
Good luck!
