A teaser pic if you will. I just took this out of the vacuum bagging material. Still need to trim and sand the edges and a put on a few layers of clear coat... muhahha.

 

Ohhhh!

Where did you get the vacuum bagging material and supplies?

 

YUmmmmm NICE WORK!!!!!!

 

Some of my first supplies was from sollercomposites.com, for the expoy, CF, hexel texilium (aka silver CF) and some misc things but UPS brokerage fees to Canada were killer. On the order of $60 for shipping and brokerage for $100 of supplies.

I've since found a place out at the west end of Toronto, called Canada Composites. Thats where I get all the bagging material and my new source for fabrics. Although, I think if you are resourceful enough you maybe able to find some of this stuff at various fabric stores and home depot.

We ended up not getting a dedicated vacuum pump, but instead got a 36 gallon air compressor plus a venturi vacuum generator to attach to it. One of my friends is a manufacturing engineer and just so "happened" to come across a bunch of pressure gagues, valves, fittings, plastic tubing etc..

 

That's awesome! This is something I wanted to look into more. Thanks for the help.

 

nice! so what are u making? interior trim?

 

Yes, these are the trim pieces for the door handles.
