Does it not need two barbs One in from the vacuum piece one out to the pump?

Shit I wonder if something like that would work with my vacuum pump set up.

Hope In the middle for resin line. Will seal with butyl. No barb fitting on that. Resin line can then run all way down and into a cup inside.

Barb fitting for vac line. Gauge to check pressure.

:ok_hand:

Top unscrews. Should be able to replace the cup and resin line after each use. Hope the screw on cap seals well otherwise will have to seal around exterior with butyl each time when I use it.

Definitely take some pictures or videos of this sucker when it gets going!

I want to see if I can use it with the vacuum set up I made. What type of vacuum are you using with this?

Mine is built based off of this one here:

Mine is very similar.
A lot rougher looking :rofl: but same idea.
Same fx4200 control switch.
Diaphragm pump
It should work fine, I think

Mine was based on this video.

oh that one isn’t mine…nope, mine looks pretty rough too! But hey, it works! I have that exact same pump though. I have a huge vacuum bag that would fit a deck easily. I’d love to try and use up all my CF to make a deck for myself with the bag.

Prep for resin infusion experiment.
Cutting fabric, making patterns.
Fuck knows if this is gonna help or work but I guess we will find out at some stage.
Not sure how much fabric I’m gonna use. Prolly opt for something thinnish first time, see what outcome is.
