ajb100 gave the reason fast and clear, variation of OD.

You can use the shrink tape for a first / partial consolidation without wrinkles.. And then make a good vacuum for a complete consoidation and curing.

tape is cheap and it will take just an extra 10 minutes..

Mind not to heat resin too much so that is partialy cured before vacuuminig.

good luck  Wink
