Hi guys, 

My question here is about vac bagging. I have done RTM, LRTM and hand laying up. I have been given a bonnet mold to make some parts from and I want to bag it down due to the sheer size of it and the material wanted (carbon). I have everything I need (except a clave) and have practiced on smaller parts successfully, but I am struggling to find a bag big enough and strong enough, thought I would be clever and use a mattress bag but it just ended up with tiny pin holes in! Ia there anything out bag wise? TIA

As warren says buy the correct material for the job, especially if you are making an expensive part from carbon.
