Subject : Laminating Large Panels
Posted : 2000-06-03 1:16 AM

I am interested in producing 1 1/2" thick panels, using 2 sheets of 3/4" material. The material being used is MDF and Baltic Birch. The sheet size is 16" x 48". Will vacuum bag clamping press these two sheets together sufficiently? If so, would vinyl or poly offer an advantage? How many of these "sandwiches" could I put in a bag at once? I would like to laminate 4 complete panels (8 sheets of 3/4")at a time, making the total thickness 6". What will happen to any glue squeeze-out that will occur?

Poly is always the superior bag if you are willing to pay the extra, but either bag will do your job fine, poly will just last longer. Try not to over glue your panels and glue squeeze out will be kept to a minimum. Most glues will not stick to the bag so dont worry about it.SincerelyDarryl Keil: 3/4" material.
