Hi
I am gearing up for hobby project building speed skate boots from carbon fibre epoxy shell.
I have a initial problem acquiring the right bagging material. Since i have plaster mold of foot , i need to find an elastic film tubing to stretch over the foot mold. The carbon only covers base of foot and ankle and i have seen a video on youtube that shows a product similiar to a large "stocking" get vacuum tight against mold and at the toes resin is squeezed in. See Below at 3.37sec into video

Does anyone know where i can find such a product??. By the way i have spend three days google this.
Cheers Rich , look forward to learning.

Just be careful using 'stretchy' vacuum bag like strechlon 200 for infusion. It's high elongation properties do make it useful for complex shapes, but it also become a very prone to developing tiny pinholes and you will spend your life looking for the leaks.
