This is a video about how to make a vacuum bag for compacting and curing composites - and how to avoid some common problems. This video goes with an article on vacuum bagging at Explore Composites! It's easier to show some important details of the process with moving pictures of me actually doing it.
Here's the article:

See how to make a vacuum bag and how to tailor pleats to fit over a mold feature without skewing or bridging.
Three important things to take away from this video:
1 - Make your bag big enough!
2 - For small/medium things, put the tacky tape on the bag first.
3 - Keep your bag pleats symmetrical across the bag.
