Finally got around to putting together something for my vacuum setup, and it greatly expedites the process! This was my first experiment with it, and have figured out a way to avoid the little snags in the vacuum process, and have learned alot about the type of bag I need to make to make these turn out as good as they can right out of the bag!
Here is a controller bagged and under vacuum, I anticipated the need for more slack than was actually needed to ensure that the bag made its way into all the nooks and crannies of a controller. I have an idea that should eliminate the need for any pleats in the bag and will eliminate the little epoxy ridges once the bag is removed.
This is how it looked out of the bag, the little ridges are paper-thin and can be removed with your fingernails, any remaining ridges were carefully trimmed with a blade. Then a light sand eliminated them.
After knocking down the ridges, I applied a very thin second coat of epoxy, and then went through the final multi-grit sanding process, gave it a clear coat, and voila! Much quicker than without a vacuum!

Actually, they can. It's free software that anyone has access to. It's simply a medium for me to host my own thread-based worklogs. Various skins can be chosen and changed at any time, and the forum isn't the focus of Tech Kings anyway, simply a periphery.
