Hi im looking at geting a vacum pump to use when carbon skinning items. If i was to use when applying the carbon to the basecoat would i get away with just using release film? or will the bag material
work just as well?. Its just to get the carbon to stick properly on all edges to basecoat before removing from bagging and doing flood coats of resin.

You can use liquid adhensive for high temps,it holds on very good at temps higher than the epoxy tgs.
Apply it gently with a lattex glove ,let it degas and then press the fabric tight with your hands,secure it with tape and after the full cure of the adhensive start to wet the fabric,post cure at 100++celcius,no lifts no delaminate,full waterproof!
