can this be used with a vaccuum bag for fiberglass work?

There is no technical reason why you can't but I don't use this pump in that capacity. I used it for casting silicone and latex degassing. Next application was to make a vac bag for wood veneer. Its fairly inexpensive, I suggest you buy it.

Doug, I will copy the users manual "Usable Range" statement: The single stage series of the single-stroke oil-rotating vane vacuum pumps and the two stage series of the double-stroke oil-rotating vane vacuum pumps are the equipments for obtaining vacuum by pumping the gases from sealed containers, especially suitable for the pumping work for cold-producing maintenance (for the vacuum pumping with R12, R22, or R134a as cold-producing medium), medical appliances, printing machinery, vacuum packing, gas-analysis and hot-forming plastics. And they can also be used as the fore-stroke pumps of all kinds of high-vacuum equipments. I hope this was useful for you Doug.

Micarta is the functional equivalent to fiberglass so i would have to say yes. (Never tried though)

I would think so if you let the foam dry but have never tried it in this application. We have owned a number of this type of battery vacuum cleaners, this one has the highest vacuum and we are very impressed with it. Would recommend it to all our friends

Yes, but most use it on the alumin ones due to silicon caulk reacting with the Metal. You get a cheaper in cost not quality caulk to use on fiberglass.

I can't say for sure. I've only tried it once and it didn't smell as good as with a bagged vaccum.

No. Bags are option. this is a wet/dry vac and you can use it three ways...with a bag, without a bag and with a foam filter around.

I cannot say for sure, haven't tried this. The container would have to withstand the vacuum pressure. If you try it, wear safety glasses and stand back. Good luck.

Sure. But as with any gravel vac you may have to avoid digging the intake into the sand, which could stir it up and make a mess. I try to keep the vac an inch or so above my sand substate.

It's designed for shop vac. The opening is probably too large for a regular vacuum unless you can rig up something to make the connection airtight.

Yes it clearly says it can be used on fiberglass. I used for a large patch job and it worked well let dry 24 hrs. and vent well.

yes as long as vacuum has a hose for attachments. I used a Hoover Wind Tunnel and it worked great. Found lots of uses for bags summer: blankets, comforters, during winter used for big beach towels and picnic blankets also used for my mothers afagans that I want to keep safe.

I'm sure it can, i have a fiberglass pool but i really didn't like it as much as the triangle pool vacuum head with the brushes.

You would have to contact the manufacturer. It claims to be safe, and there is a general warning about fiberglass material. But it doesn't apply with this product...

It will possibly work IF you can connect the hose to your vac with an air tight fit. The outside diameter of the hose end is 1 3/8" and it includes two adapters with O.D.'s of 1 5/8" and 2". On the other hand, I think the filter bag might clog up right away. I had to clean my larger filter regularly.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. There isn't anything really abrasive on the cloth that could damage the fiberglass.

I would say no. There isn't a lot of resin in this kit, and the suction wouldnt have the same effect on a hole as it would a crack. The vacume effect wouldn't be the same. Nothing would hold the resin in the hole.

Yes. Just let it dry completely. I used it on glassine bags and worked great.
