Update
Hey Guys - hope all is well.
Just a little update, spent the whole day getting ready for the light box/oven of which the materials should arrive tomorrow followed by a trip out to Maplin. The working table has been re-sized to 2444 x 1900mm so the light box can fit perfectly over the the top with the moulds laid out width ways.
I've taken the stick switches off my MC24 and replaced them with two conventional 3 position switches, so it's back to flying with the thumbs!
That's all for now, word out!

New Vacuum System
GREAT NEWS.... the new way of vacuum bagging has successfully completed its trial and first time too. Plastics sheet folded around the mould and sealed with sealant, non silicone of course!
Once connected to the vacuum pump it achieved full vacuum, there was a very slight leak but this was due to my efforts when joining the bag together.

Good news, the materials are starting to arrive, I took delivery of the balsa today. Fantastic quality all light and cut from the same block so very consistent, would highly recommend Balsa Cabin to anyone, fast efficient personable service.
Just waiting for the R&G order and the carbon cloth from Carbon-Vertrieb.
That's all for now.
