Vacuum bagging is the process of covering the lamination with a series of
bond inhibiting and ventelating fabrics and pressing it in place by a flexable bag that you pull all the air out of. Produces a very even pressure over the whole surface. But I can tell you rignt now that is not the best idea for teak. Things move as the bag is pulled down and you have no control of how they move. Better to screw the teak down with screws and flat wahsers until the epoxy sets. Then remove the screws, counter bore and insert teak plugs in the holes. Also be sure to wash down the teak with acetone to remove any surface oils before applying epoxy. The bond will be much better. Glenn "Bewert" wrote in message news:Am_2d.445476$M95.80677@pd7tw1no...
