Applying adhesives or laying up composite materials such as carbon fibre could both be tricky. I suspect outgassing/boiling of the liquid compounds would occur causing separation in both cases.

(Edit: these These manufacturing processes don't depend on low gravity as you ask, unless you're working on huge structures. But the hindrance of vacuum seems clear to me.)
