Hi Guys,
I have a problem in my vacuum infusion process, with the vacuum pump turned on the pressure is constantly at 0.9 atm, but if I turn off the vacuum line the pressure starts to drop. I have already looked for microwaves and can not find anything.
Is it a problem for me to infuse the part and keep the pump running constantly until the healing time?

Are you clamping the exit line also, as it's not uncommon to find that the leak is from your catch...

It can also be the pump itself. Without any mechanism to hold vacuum I have seen some pumps run backwards for a bit when turned off. I have a one way valve right on the pump.
