Hello all,

Can anyone tell how I can eliminate the voids I get aroundthe edges/corners of my foamcore during a vacuum bag lay up?  My layup is a lamination of fiberglass, wood, foam core & carbon fiber. I believe my all my layers are wetted outcompletely before they are placed on the mold. I use a peel ply & bleedermaterial before putting on the bagging film. Attached is picture one of the problemareas.

TIA,

Paul

Thank you all for the great advice. Zorongo, I think you are on to something regarding the peel ply.
