Hi there,

I'm using your starter kits to teach myself the some of the techniques involved in composite materials. I've got as far as complex moulds that require a vacuum - but I also want to try resin infusion in the future.

So - (and apologies if this is a daft question!) can I do vacuum bagging with the resin infusion kit? I see from the contents there is a large degree of commonality between the kits, as I would expect, but is there anything I require or that you would recommend I got in addition to the infusion kit to do straight bagging?

Thanks and best regards,

Chris Mancuska

Thanks for the reply Warren. I was asking because the moulds I currently have are rather small and a full on infusion setup just for a couple of 10 inch square moulds seems overkill!

Seems like a good excuse to move up to some the larger things I want to make....
