Well i'm starting to piece together a startup kit formyself.  I don’t want to go with thebasic kit as such and then have to upgrade a lot of it later down the track andi dont want to get the best items out on the market.

 

Looking at putting my own kit together.

So far thinking

 

Pump 12CFM or above item

Resin catch pot

bleeder/breather

Vacuum bag connector

Vacuum leak flow indicator

 

Now do I need a degassing chamber?

vacuum regulator

 

Budget is about a total of $2000AU to start off with and I wouldlike to be able to  do things as large asbonnets I have got my own side company doing fibreglass body parts so do want to expand in the future into doing these parts in carbon.

Thanks for the info. 

a degas chamber how does this work with carbon fibre resin, All i have seen is it used with rubber based items is it only used in this case?
