For that sort of application Aliexpress

Just so you know it's not an app, just a mobile friendly web page

Use winddan.nz . ALL the nowcasting sites and more in a better format

You should use the perf film to control the resin bleed (adds restriction into the system), and pull the max vacuum you can. If you don't have restriction you can overbleed and get porosity

What matting are you using? Are you using perforated release film and peel ply? You won't ever get a mint mould finish from the bag side.

Hetairos. Full carbon hull and full of modern tech despite the traditional looks. Rigs made in NZ. Recently got the square top upgrade.

Try McMaster Carr. Online hardware from the US.

Just be careful, by weight and volume the ratios are a bit different because of different densities. Gurit spabond 345 is a good pre thickened adhesive for bonding, not really for coving though.

Good reading from the pros here http://www.vacmobiles.com/vacmans-notes.html

You should use the max vac you have available and not turn the pump off or regulate the vac. Control your bleed with the correct perf film if doing wet lam with vac. If infusion control the amount of resin you remove with a Peel ply break between end of lam and vac connection
