I'm installing new CB trunks to accommodate the new center boards and to move them back about 3".

Vacuum bag laminating table to make flat parts Part 1

Using a laminating table to make flat parts with a vacuum bag.
I need to make center board trunks for the curved center boards, the easy way for now is to
use 4 mm ply with a fiberglass reinforcement. In this video the underside is got a coat of 5oz glass and a layer of peel ply, purf. poly, and breather mat. At the start I have layed down the glass and am putting a layer of peel ply on.
