: . . . I formerly worked in a cabinet shop, and there was
: always a spare constant-duty electric vacuum pump, I'm not sure how much
: vacuum it pulls, though. I'll give Soller a try.

You might also take a look at the Fibreglast.com web site. particularly, look at their free info on settingup a vaccuum bag system. It is a .pdf file (adobe acrobat format) located at:

http://www.fibreglast.com/learning_center_brochures/vacuum_bagging_equipment_and_techniques.pdf

Fibreglast has a lot of similar help files which cover composites, fiberglass, and other areas which we talk about on this board.

Hope this helps
