A unitary vacuum bag (4) for forming of fiber reinforced composite article having molded in resin distribution means (10) formed to a specific article. The vacuum bag (4) is constructed upon that mold which forms the base for the construction of the desired fiber reinforced composite article. The bag (4) contains an open sided, resilient main distribution conduit (10) running laterally along the long axes of the vacuum bag with branch conduits (10) to provide for long distance flow of resin to all parts of the composite article and elastomeric tube receptacles (20). A multiplicity of cross channels (14) are formed on the inner surface of the bag from a pattern of dots (16), covering most of the area under which the fiber lay up is placed within the mold. A model on the mold is used to form a vacuum bag (4) from an elastic material and the vacuum bag is used to form a composite article.
