A question about making a fiberglass mold. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I’m working on my front filler panel again and would like to make the panel I have out of fiberglass and then use that as the base for my project. I’d like to use vacuum to make this as perfect as possible but I’ve never made anything this big before out of fiberglass. I do know I’ll need a vacuum pump,looking into one now but what’s the best method for the process,plastic bag or make an air tight chamber? I’ve got the filler panel smoothed out and need to move onto the next step.
