Actually Iskander, the reason for bagging wings is not to squeeze the resin
and force fibres together.  Wings are bageed to produce a perfect, constant
(no dips between ribs, no balsa sheet joints) airfoil across the entire wing.
It is an added benefit that the layers (carbon, kevlar, whatever) are forced
together and any extra resin is squeezed (squoze?) into the breather felt.
