Default Vacuum Bagging

Is this a one time shot or production where you are doing many of the same part?
Are you going to be Resin Infusing the glass or bagging down pre wet glass?
You can use visqueen, Tacky tape, the flow media and breather can be found at a fabric shop. if you are infusing then you will have to use reinforcements that allow flow and low viscosity resins. If you are hand catalyzing and not using metermix pumps use a slow resin and or refridgerate before catalyzing to give you plenty of time to pull the resin through the whole part.

I have only helped helped with vacuum bagging before, so I think I will start with wet layup and bagging, not infusion. I have done some pre-preg and Reaction Injection Molding with epoxy- where I made hard tooling for smaller parts, but I want to redo my console door to remove the seat and bag the transom and stringer to transom joints when I do a bracket so I don't wind up with an excess of resin and sag everywhere.

You say tacky tape. Is that the same as butyl tape? I was wondering about batting for pillows as a breather layer- I guess others have used it?
