Where is the picture that is upside down?

Chris,
I have an interest in all these different methods and liked the idea of
catching
the extra resin in a cup as I've heard from professionals that they hate it
when
excess resin is drawn into the vacuum system (obvious reasons).

It would appear that they don't bother with peel ply or anything to soak up
the
excess - it all costs extra money just to throw it away !! so yes, the
system
appealed to me - so I was looking at it carefully.

Not using peel ply and a soaking cloth makes it much easier to see if the
resin does fully impregnate the glass cloth, so there is this advantageas
well. Also leaves a very smoothe inner surface from the plastic surface
however might encourage extra resin usage and therefore extra weight.

Do you think I could work out the picture on #38 Bottom RH corner, the
plumbing parts are different to what I've seen here in Oz and I'm thinking
why put the suction hose on the bottom, it's going to pick up resin.
Then it occured to me, the picture is upside down - this is confirmed after
referring to #34 bottom LH corner.

I wish they would make it easier for us readers - no comments please re.
down under !!
George
