Bulkheads

Started vacuum bagging the bulkheads for the floats today. First time I have tried vacuum bagging and I was suprised how easy it was. Admitidly I am only doing some small panels and I can imagine that I would get a bit pushed for time on a large panel.

I was worried about how difficult it would be to achieve a good vacuum pressure. Although I did have some small leaks when I first turned the pump on, only got 15" Hg vacuum initally,it was easy enough to find the leaks and eventually got a vacuum of 28" Hg.

Vacuum setup. I put the extra layer of sealing tape around the edge mainly because I didn't know what I was doing and turned out to be completly unnesaccary.
