    About to start a rehab project on a Steletto 27 catamaran. Will be making panels of epoxy, glass and pp honeycomb core for some of the flooring. Can someone recommend a vacuum pump(s) for the job??

    Thanks,

    James

    We use a 3/4hp vane pump from Graingers. Have a look there or at Mc Master-Carr.
