The WalMart bags are made from a different PE and are stiffer and have no lubricant. I would be just a little afraid of the baggies as they have a slip agent in the PE. A marking pen can be used as you suggest to get the outline of the fiberglass desired. The WalMart bags do come in different sizes and when slit can be used for pieces up to 3 to 4'. I haven't had much luck handling anything any longer. I also use them to protect my working table, using a double layer. A soft vinyl cutting pad can be used to cut the fiberglass, available at your local WalMart in the sewing section. And as suggested by RW you can sqeegee out all of the excess epoxy from between the layers of WalMart bag material. Actually I have overdone the removing excess resin, sqeegeed till the fiberglass looked a little white again. Also try to get all of the bubbles out at this stage. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
