Probably ! (Don't have a vacuum press though)


You make one out of a strong plastic bag and a vacuum cleaner.


Never thought of that ! Good plan.....

If the
panels aren't too big you can get them inside one of the "space bags"
sold on the TV shopping channels - the sort that compress a duvet into
the size of a face-flannel in the demonstration.


Another good thought - thanks !
