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...

Yes, iv had great results using food boil bags. Can go upto 120deg and only 70 micron. Take 5 seconds to heat the bag. Mine used for pre preg.
