I recently de-molded one of our CF parts and I happened to be in a dimly lit area. As I pulled on the vacuum bag it seemed to glow blue. I turned the lights off and every where the bag was removed it would flash blue for a moment. Has anyone else seen this? I can't decide if it is static electricity or a a chemical coming into contact with air.
I just thought this was rather odd.

Pretty sure it's static.
I've been shocked a bunch while de-molding before.
I've seen the same, its static.

On the serious side.. I'll give it a try.
