adouglas Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Has anyone tried using the plastic from Glad's new "Forceflex" trash bags for the plastic laminate bagging technique? It's very stretchy...which suggests to me that it might be really good for tight compound curves.

Jon Matcho Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 There's nothing special about those bags in what they could do for layups. I would imagine that pressing a squeegee over them would cause them to stretch and cause all sorts of annoying behavior. I use 6mil plastic, and you could use 3mil to get more bend. The best approach to address compound curves is to vacuum bag. Along the lines of the cheap 'pressure bagging' technique, we now have the low pressure vacuum bagging technique which I use whenever I can.

deronjthomas Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 My wife buys thows bags, and I took a look at them. They are just like any other bag, but one thing. It has been prestreched is such a way they tend not to rip as bad as the other bag, but they do rip more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
