hello friends, I already tried to process the vacuum bag, but it was disastrous because it removed more resin than it should have. What is the correct vacuum for hand layup + vacuum bag?

I do not have vacuum pump pressure regulator, any suggestions of what I can do?

You can add a new ball valve or similar your pump line and adjust it so that it leaks to any level you want. Still no regulator but it is an adjustable set up.
Wet layups need far less pressure than infusion or pre pregs. 10"hg
