: Hi Shawn;

: My glass layup buddy related a story to me some time ago about how they had
: just bagged some part of a pretty large sailboat hull under construction,
: and were ready to go home for the weekend. The vacuum pump died just as
: they were leaving, and they replaced it with a large Shop Vac (TM), (the
: real thing) and had no recourse other than to leave it for the night. He
: says it ended up running fine through Monday morning, 2-1/2 days later,
: apparently none the worse for wear! Plus, the vacuum bagging turned out
: fine.

: I think your 15 minute limit was a bit conservative . . . Sounds like
: something Dale might have cut off after perhaps 10 minutes, however . . .

: Trying to think of something to bag, Spidey
