: I have made magnetic flush hatches for my CH16, and I have read in past posts
: that if you do not put a layer of fibreglass over the magnets they will
: rust.
: My idea to stop this, is to put a layer of glass over the magnets but i need
: the layer to be as thin as possible so I thought vacumn bagging would
: achieve this but getting a pump and attachments in New Zealand(where I
: live)is extremely expensive so I am wanting to know if anybody has built a
: vacumn bagging setup at home and if so would you like to impart your
: knowledge to one how knows nothing.

: Thanks for any help provided
