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.

That's rubbish..

You'll be kidnapped by aliens, that's it. :P.

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