Yes! Thanks Sam, I did a few things that really helped: 1. bought some silicone in a tube and put some beads around both sides of where the silicone sheet meets the frame and pushed it in with a glove, then turned on the vacuum so it sucked the wet silicone in. I repeated putting a bead around the f...

Thanks for all the help so far. I will certainly seal the frame... and I will play with the heat to see if it stretches the silicone. I was curious if people on here could provide some advice on this. Right now, I am using this vacuum to pull the silicone on my table: http://www.jula.se/catalog/verk...

Just the frame is untreated MDF. The table I covered with Epoxy to seal already, but you are right that I should seal the frame as well. I will coat the MDF frame with epoxy and see if that gives me a bit more power.

Thanks for your help here. Here are some of the photos of what I have been working with. I am still new to the process. The first is the press; I put my heat blanket on top of the set up, but you can see that the vacuum is not pulling the silicone all the way down. The second and third photo are the...

Thanks for the help. I have a heating blanket that covers the whole ski placed on top of the silicone. I have some photos, but I am on vacation now in the states. Your help would be most appreciated. I will post some photos here when I get back. I am thinking that either my frame is too small, or th...

Thanks for the links. I will take a look at them. I am thinking that my vacuum does not get enough pull, as I keep getting bubbles and warping in my p-tex. I have a silicone blanket on a table press. If there is one that you recommend, that would be great, but if not I will play around and give it a...

I built a table for the vacuum press and now my little vacuum does not have the power to suck out all the bubbles on the skis. Does anyone know a spot in Europe where I can buy a vacuum that is strong enough to pull silicone on a large table vacuum press? I live in Norway, so the closer the better. ...

I forgot to write and say thanks for the link!

I ordered one, hooked it up and it is working well. Very appreciated.

I am looking to buy a silicone sheet for a vacuum press. I live in Norway, so it is easier if it was coming from Europe. I heard some Chinese companies can ship.

Does anyone know a spot I can get one?
