Are you vacuum bagging and autoclaving it?


No, WEST resin doesn't need to be autoclaved and benefits
relatively little from post-cure. I would like to vacuum bag
it, but I would have had to do the outer shell in 2 or 3
sessions, and the gear would have added about 25% to the
cost for about a 5% reduction in weight.

Even with all the whittling & sanding I am now faced with,
it would have been more labor & trouble than it's worth.

OTOH I would certainly like to work with vacuum bagging
structural parts.
