Yesterday I tried my first attempt at vacuum bagging fiberglass. I now have some questions. The part didn't come out very good but I'm anxious to try again.
I applied peel ply over the 5 layers of wetted out fiberglass on my body tube mandrel,then peel ply, then breather/bleeder fabric. I have seen "release film" mentioned in a list of materials, was this supposed to go in between the peel ply and breather fabric? I had a hard time stripping the peel ply, the breather fabric was stuck to it. Was this because I didnt use this release film?
How long should I wait before stripping peel ply ?
I used a 2 hour cure hardener, vacuum bagged it and applied about 140 degree heat to cure it. Was this correct?
Thanks in advance, the forum is a huge help!
