: It's more a matter of bag material. Vinyl is not as flexible as
: polyurethane, but polyurethane is pretty flexible. I've seen
: video of one of the high-tech brand-name polyurethanes
: conforming to a softball with barely a wrinkle. In our shop we
: used polyurethane, but we never did any fancy stuff, usually
: flat veneered panels and curves. Occasional laminating of forms,
: but nothing as complex as a softball... In art school we had
: frames that could conform to amazing shapes, but I never paid
: much attention to them. My interest is more in wetout with the
: heavy CF cloths. They seem to be difficult to get full
: saturation in a hand layup. It's hard to tell if you've got the
: whole thing wet out. I'm sure vacuuming would solve that
: problem.

Hey Mike...you forgot to mention the Latex ones....VERY conforming
