Hello everyone, I'm sure glad I found this web forum online. A little about myself, I've been working with my hands as long as I can remember. I worked only a tad bit with wood. I would like to learn a better understanding about laminating under vacuum. I've got a grandson that wants to start laminating his own skateboards.
He found a webpage online where they sold him ten skateboards worth of sheeting from. I asked what would make their shape and convex and he mentioned you're able to build your own bags?
I guess our next plan of action is to purchase parts to build vacuum bags, and this is what I need help with. I'm not sure what type of vinyl or polyester material to purchase (thickness, etc). I'm also unsure about how to make the seals, and what else we would need.
someone told me a wine vacuum pump and to use the seals that come with it
