Hi Turk,
You will find most battery scales will have an auto shut off to protect battery life. It is a bit frustrating if you need to leave the scales for a while mid measuring!
In terms of the silicone pulling from the wall of the box, I would not worry about it as in practice, the weight of the resin you pour into the mould will force it back against the box anyway so in practice there should be no problems.
I have a replacement vacuum gauge here which I will dispatch to you today so that should solve your problem. Only thing to note is be careful how deep you pierce the bung to equalise pressure. The max on the gauge is 4mm. Some people have gone a fair bit deeper then hit the mechanism so be careful how deep you go.
