Welcome Mark44

Glad to see you made it. Have you had a chance to look around? Plenty of composite work knowledge here.

Werks: I invited Mark over from a post he made on the boatdesign.net forums.

Sure have I have been reading a lot of these threads and taking notes. I am starting on a mold next weekend it will be layers of fiber glass.

Well back to reading there is a ton of information here this is exactly what I was looking for.

One question, I know it’s a newbie question but I see the term bridging used a lot, is this when the vacuum is pulled and the bag not pulled down against the material?

I know in a year from now I will look back at that and laugh that I had to ask this. Sorry guys.

Thanks Rick
