Vacuum bagging

Ok, I have a deflated balloon that weighs 2 ounces.

I pump 10 PSI of air into it.

Shreddys gonna say it now weighs 150 pounds.

No wonder he catches big fish..

LOL

  A 60" x 1 1/2" bow with 60 psi on it is 5,400 lbs...

Shredd if you are talking hose forms, then I don’t believe this is completely true. Just because the hose has 60psi, doesn’t mean all that pressure is being transferred to the bow. Some of that pressure is used to fill the gap in the form. If it takes say 5-10psi to expand the hose to the form, then you are only applying 50-55psi.

   There is very little resistance in the hose to inflate it...  Not enough to be worth mentioning when you are estimating 5,000 lbs what is an extra 1-3 lbs for the weight of the hose???   I would think that it would take less than 1psi to inflate a hose...  I am no Scientist but whatever area the hose comes in contact with and and your gauge reads 60 psi. you are pretty much putting 60 psi on that area...  Thats what psi means, "lbs per sq. inch".

   I guess it depends how dense that air is...  I once caught a very dense mackerel that was only 12" long but weighed 40 lbs. so I had a big cookout and fed 35 people...

I caught a 6 foot northern pike one day.

It was 3 foot up one side and 3 foot down the other side.

    Who is this guy??   I think I saw him on Johnny Carson once...

Well by Roy’s math I caught an 8’ king salmon once. Only weighed 25#s though.

I'd like to get ahold of all your stupid fish and crush them with my vacuum. Fiskesuppe anyone?

[Buemaker]

Fiskesuppe with shrimps, yummie.

I would think a man living in Montana would be eating elk stew:)

Less he can't shoot for crap:)

OK, last installment.
Done cooking, 5hrs@160deg

Out of the bag, got some clean up to do!

Looks like the squeezing was successful

I normally use a peel-ply layer in a addition to the breather fabric. I had run out. I use polyester liner fabric from Joann. Its a lot more work to clean up without it. The peel-ply lets you remove the squeeze out by tearing it off the blank. Spent some time cleaning on this one

Nice dude.

[Buemaker]

Came out nice, glue lines look good.

[Forwardhandle]

Very nice looks good !

[Crooked Stic]

That sucked up pretty darn good.
