Save some money.
I can now vacuum pack my mylar lined 5 gal. buckets with my foodsaver better than oxygen absorbers can!
1. Do everything normally up to the pt of filling mylars in bucket.
2. Use a hair straightner iron to seal the bag but leave a tiny corner open for the hose on your vacuum sealer.
3. Press out as much air as possible.
4. Put about 1 inch of hose in the little hole.
5. Use a strip of electrical tape (about 1 1/2") and seal around the hose and the hole. Press the tape down completely around the hose and the hole edges of the bag.
6. Turn on your vacuum sealer and it will vacuum pack it better than the oxygen absorbers do. When done, use your hair iron to seal just below the hose, edge to edge. Remove the hose and finish off the sealing of the hole.
This works with any size mylars.
