Food Savers and Mylar Bags
Occasionally someone will ask if they can use a Food Saver to vacuum seal a Mylar bags. In general, the answer to that is no; Food Savers are designed specifically to handle their particular channel bags.
I received an email last week from Don Sheets saying he had found a way to use a Food Saver to vacuum seal Mylar. Needless to say, I was intrigued. He followed up with a full set of pictures and explanation, which I now present to y’all! In essence, it is a method to create Food Saver Channel Bag ‘Straws’, which can then be used to vacuum seal a Mylar Bag. Very cool.
Thanks Don! (My apologies for the poor formatting, working with a group of pictures in WordPress is not yet my strong suit!)

Soldering gun used to score and seal Food Saver bags. Run the tip over the spot several times to insure it seals the edge.
Step 2: Score and Seal Food Saver Channel Bags. Repeat as many times as you have bags to seal.
