Vacuum bagging the spreaders

After the carbon and glass are on the spreader arms and the pieces
are rapped in peel ply and perforated film each piece is rapped in
breather fabric. ( I have been using recycled poly batting for
blankets, but I am thinking about using something like
"Econoweave 44" which is like a felt.) Now everything goes in the
bag and it is sealed up. Turn on the vacuum and
check for leaks. I run the vacuum high (26 ") for two hours then
set it for 12" and let it run over night.
See the video here.
