    Kind of, I am using a foodsaver which is great for laminating over foam (which is most of my work, as all my projects are 1 offs) and OK for bagging flat sheets, but while a LOT better than a wet lay up for moulding it is far from ideal, and I am pretty sure I couldnt use it for for resin infusion.

    I dont have a vaccum gauge, but for what it is worth from the way it acts on different foams I think I am getting somewhere around 9 inches of mercury.

    I thought you would be, it is for sure limited and not for everyone, but also amazing in what it can do for the money invested.

    I do. Because of the way I make my hulls, it's a necessity.
