Vacuum Pressing - Outside Technique

In this video, Darryl demonstrates the "outside technique". With this method, only the laminations are placed inside the bag. The form stays outside. This technique is commonly used when the form is too large to go inside the bag without difficulty. Instead, the craftsman brings the laminations to the shape of the form. The VacuPress clamps all the laminations to each other, eliminating all but a few clamps.

Thank you for showing the “outside” technique! That explains how large curves can be obtained! Also, the tip on the”light vacuum “ to get everything dialed in will aid in a good result the first time.

Do you ever offer discounts to your products? I’m in Canada and find your system fascinating.

I’ve read the most common vacuum is around 21” mercury but my pump (and I assume most) can go higher. Would you recommend setting it to a higher number for most projects? Thank you for another really exceptional teaching session. Best.
