I always wonder how to close the bag when you have almost sealed it and when it comes to seal the last centimeters.

Like in the picture :

What I do is, I cut a piece bagging tape, quite long, almost as long as the remaining bag length, and I stick to the bag, then I put the bag on the bottom tape.

Any trick or good practrice guys ?

Jess

I've just seen the video Fred, thank you for pointing me toward it. It's really tempting, sure I will give it a try soon !!
Eventually, I will not select the fastest method, instead I'll prioritze the method that decreases the risk of bagging leak ! Smile that's what really causes pain in the ... Blush
