Is there a good way to get carbon to go tightly round a right angle?

Thanks

Hi Joey,

Your right in thinking that an air-bed deflator would not have anything like the level of vacuum normally required for composites, I would imagine that it will have much less than a vacuum cleaner; which isn't normally enough to make any real use of. It may help to hold the carbon down in the corners slightly but you would still need to make a proper vacuum bag.

If you have absolutely no leaks in the bag there is no need to leave a pump running. Like with many areas of composites it may be a case of experimentation, I would be suprised if it yields the results you are looking for, however this industry is full of suprises!
