That's an interesting way of vacuum bagging Ian . I've never actually seen it done that way , and maybe i can see why . The bagging i've seen , involves the lay up as normal , then setting up the vacuum bag and ensuring an even vacuum while the resin gels .
I give you much credit for trying this - admire your determination. I have no doubt you will figure out how to do this. And thanks for sharing with us - very interesting. I am wondering if a thicker piece of plastic would be easier to seal and reduce leaks?

Did you keep the pump running all night until it hardened?
