spiff,
How much vacuum (inches of mercury) does your buddy's machine develop? Can you turn off the cryo part? That would inhibit glue curing, I would think!
Cheers,

Don`t know,but how is this method different from a vacuum press,both suck out the air.
spiff,
My bag has a gauge that shows the amt of vacuum in inches of mercury. Less than 10-15inches gives insufficient pressure to yield consistantly good glue joints, especially when dealing with large sheets of veneer, sharp curves, or thicker laminations. Just my experience.
Regards,
Ray
