Vacuum Bagging Basics

Step 8 Seal the Other Side

OK, I've got the first edge sealed, so now it's time to seal the other one just like the first. Here's a shot of how I keep tension on the upper right corner. If my left hand were free instead of holding the camera, you'd see an index finger carefully mating the plastic with the bagging tape up there.

This tension is important to maintain as we'll see in the next photo: You want to make sure that there is the same length of plastic on the free side as there is of tape on the affixing one. More? Ok, you might need to introduce a little more of the tape to take up that slack. Less? Hopefully you can stretch the mating plastic enough to match everything up.
