: Hello everyone,
: I am trying to make a vacuum bagging system as low-cost as
: possible. I have found a pump, but I'm looking for a pressure
: pot setup. Hopefully I can find a good deal on a paint pot, but
: thought I would pick your brains on what you've done for the
: "catch can" between the bag and the pump. I was
: actually thinking about an old pressure cooker and just tap it
: for the lines.
I have used my set-up only three times so I am hardly an expert (still a pert, I guess). But I have yet to need a trap, as the breather layer has caught all the resin before it gets to the vacuum line. I have some 4" schedule 40 pipe, end caps, and barbs all ready, but have not assembled it yet. I'll try to post some photos tonight.
