For our purposes, if you already have an air compressor, you're in the vacuum business with one of these: Venturi vacuum generator. ------------------------- Dora Hates You

Also, after I mix a lot of epoxy or poly you can pull a vacuum on it and it takes out any air bubbles in the mix. Just be careful to just fill it container to about 1/3 full, the mix will foam up pretty high while the air is removed but settled pretty quick. Good for those bubble free finishes. ------------------------- The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness - John Kenneth Galbraith
