: One potential problem is resin starved areas. If too much pressure is applied
: before the resin gels, too much resin can be forced from the laminate.

Interesting observation. So, it would seem to be a highwire balancingact, between pulling too much vacuum and starving the cloth, or not enough and obviating the advantages of the process. Is the answer to gradually increase the vacuum over time? What with all the different resins and hardeners, and ambient temperature fluctuations, that sounds much too fussy for the garage builder. Maybe we should agree that hand-laid is good enough and move on...
