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


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

or you could use the moggy to get a decent vacuum, hook it up to the
connection on the carb that operates the advance/retard diaphragm.
