Howdy,
I was wondering if anyone has tried using food storage vacuum bags for making small parts (where appropriate) as a partial replacement for standard flat vacuum bagging film with tacky tape?
Currently I'm effectively making a literal bag that envelopes the whole part (a shoe) and frankly its a pain in the ass getting a perfect seal. I figure that if 3 sides of the bag are perfectly sealed that reduces the margin for error. Its also works out to be slightly cheaper than buying film and tacky tape.
Here's an example of what Im thinking of - nylon and 90µm thick:

seems like it would work...

We recently did a video on using cheap vacuum bags and for small simple parts, they work really well and are a cheap alternative to buying an expensive pump - especially if you are doing a one off or occasional part.
