Vacuum Bagging

A technique used in laminating rocket components in fiberglass or other material; after the material is applied and wetted with resin, the component is placed in a sealed plastic bag and the air is sucked out. The bag places uniform pressure over the part while the resin sets, resulting in a very smooth, uniform surface. Typically also requires a breather material and a release agent.
