EvacuNet
When
using a vacuum press, providing efficient air removal uniformly
throughout the bag is a must. Usually this is done by the use of a
platen board, normally a piece of 3/4" particle board or MDF having 1/8"
grooves run in a grid pattern over its surface. Under certain
circumstances a platen cannot be used and another means of air
evacuation is needed.
The EvacuNet is made for this purpose. This material is a 1/16"
course weave plastic netting that gets the air efficiently down to the
exit hole of the bag. EvacuNet comes 40 inches wide, can be cut to any
length and can be used over and over. Just lay it over the project being
pressed making sure the end is over the exit nipple. |
Vacuum Bag Patch Kit
Comes with a piece of the bag material, a tube of
specially formulated glue that remains flexible after curing to stretch
with the bag and 6 sticky backed patches for pin holes and quick fix
temporary patching |
|
Nipple Patch Kit
Our nipple patch kit allows the user to relocate the bag
nipple to a new location on either side of a vacuum bag. This is
commonly done when one side or end of the bag gets worn from use giving
the bag a new life. A nipple patch comes with one nipple heat welded to
a 3" diameter patch for easy attachment, a tube of glue and a piece of
bag material for patching the old nipple hole. Specify vinyl or
polyurethane when ordering |
 Resin Impregnated
Honeycomb
We
are constantly looking for new and appropriate products to offer with
the VacuPress. We search for items that will assist the woodworker in
achieving the highest level of quality and innovation in their
workRecently, we added resin impregnated honeycomb to our product line.
Honeycomb offers a core material that creates a light-weight, strong and
extremely stable panel, free from the common problems associated with
standard panel composition.
Honeycomb is easy to use, commonly sandwiched between 1/8" to 1/2"
skins, with a solid wood edging around the panel. Honeycomb can be
pressed with any standard woodworking glue and is offered un-skinned,
making it useable on both flat and curved workWe offer honeycomb in
three thicknesses, 1/2", 3/4", & 1." Sheet sizes of 2' x 4' which can be
laid together accommodating any size projectSizes-1/2" x 14" Cell

Veneer Stitcher
Applying
veneer tape and removing it after pressing often consumes an inordinate
amount of time during the veneering process. A veneer stitcher can
reduce that time to a fraction. Most stitchers are stationary floor
models that start at $3,000 The HFZ/4 zig-zag is a hand held model of
the stationary type. A fiberglass thread covered with hot melt glue
passes through a heating tube, laid down in a zig-zag motion over the
veneer seam and pressed down by a following roller. Two angled rollers
up front draw the veneer together for a tight seam. On full thickness
veneers (1/32") the stitched side can be placed face into the glue.
Either way this tool is a tremendous time saver for those that do enough
veneering to step up from veneer tape but not enough to invest in a
stationary model |
 Klebo
Glue Spreader
This German made glue spreader uses a unique notched trowel spreading
method. Pull the trigger, drag the spreader over the wood surface and
release, it applies an accurate clean 6" wide glue line. The cast
aluminum head can be removed for cleaning while the canister can be
capped leaving unused glue inside.
This spreader is excellent for white and yellow glues as well as being
quite popular for contact cement. With contact cement the head does not
need to be cleaned. A reducing slider is supplied which reduces the
spreading surface for doing edge gluing |

dispensing glue, lift up and the rollers disengage allowing the rubber
roller to evenly spread the glue. It comes with a stand to hold the
spreader when idle |
