These kits are designed for builders with experience using the Roarockit vacuum-laminating method. Instructions do not come with these kits. For in-depth tutorials view the photo and video tutorials.
To make your mold last longer, completely cover it with strips of wide (plastic) packing tape.
The foam mold and Thin Air Press Bag, pump, and breather netting are designed to be used for many, many builds.
Keep all your reusable kit parts in good working order by following the maintenance tips included with the kit.
Using uncut sheets of veneer, plywood backer boards and external clamps can puncture a Thin Air Press bag. Treat your TAP bag with care, inspect regularly for holes.
