    I have one of those Food Saver's, I wonder if that would seal Mylar?

    As long as it is not too thick. Foodsaver sealers are just like any other but are non adjustable. If the link makes it adjustable then they will work.

    I have a 12" rebuilt sealer with extras if someone wants it.
    Drop me a PM. It will do 24" bags one side at a time.

    Also understand that the non commercial sealers will go through the teflon/fiberglass covers quick.

    Nope. It is time to do up a batch and the 02 absorbers come in packs of 50. I have plenty of #10 can size bags but will only use 20 or less absorbers.

    Once you open the absorbers you want to use all of then as quickly as possible. I have sealed unused ones in a canning jar but prefer to use them up.

    It is like 75-90 cents for a bag and absorber. I offer them up and the use of my heat sealer. You bring your stuff you want to put up and we fill bags. then drop all the absorbers and seal. I use one 300cc absorber per bag. Don't dis my tupperware....

    Ive been looking at some dried veggies- Where do you get your peas, potatoes? Ive even found dried out tomatoes online, but I hear it can be sketchy doing long term storage with veggies. Anyone do veggies for 5 years or more and tried them? Do you have to burp your tup after you open?
