: Kirk,

: For hatch lips only, it doesn't seem like setting up for vacuum bagging would
: be worth it. Depending on how dissatisfied you are with your outcome, you
: may still be able to salvage it with some grinding (wet sanding with 80 or
: 100 grit) and then putting a cosmetic layer or two of 5oz carbon over
: that. A single layer of the 5oz will be a lot easier to put down than the
: 11oz.

Hi Sam

Besides the time to set up the vacuum system...there's the cost.

here is how far I've made it so far...still need to wire it and build a scrubber and a air tank system. Your web site has helped a lot with my progression towards my vacuum system.

Thanks Sam

Best Wishes
Roy
