Our Thin Air Press Kit products are
ideal for skateboard deck builders and R/C hobbyists
who have an interest in composite vacuum bag technology
The Thin Air Press kit is an inexpensive introduction
to the process and can be used for a variety of different
projects from laminating skateboard decks, building composite
wings for model aircraft or building furniture wood components
for woodworkers.
The
TAP vacuum bag, is made of sturdy 20 mil
vinyl that will not leak. Using this system there is
no need to keep an electrical pump running continuously
until your vacuum project is set. The hand vacuum pump
connects to a one-way valve on the TAP bag. It takes
only about a minute of pumping to extract all the air.
Our pump produces more than enough pressure for most
forms of laminating, easily exerting 15 psi of pressure
onto your project. This is equal to most electric vacuum
pumps used for composite or veneer vacuuming. All components
of this kit are reusable many times over and epoxy and
polyurethane glues will not stick to the bag.
