: Hi All-

: Tool catalogs have had manual vacuum pumps and bags in them for a while, but
: I was pretty psyched to see a commercial last night for a new ziploc
: freezer bag that comes with a vacuum pump to suck the air out of the bag.
: Very useful for woodworking to be sure, but you really don't need much
: vacuum to laminate fabrics, so I'm sure it would work if your intended
: part were small enough. I have a non-kayak project that I'll be doing in
: the next couple of weeks that I plan to use it for, and I will carefully
: photo-document and post the results. In the meantime, a link to the page
: on the product from their web site is below if you want to try and beat me
: to the punch... Imagine- disposable vacuum bags? For $4? Are you kidding?

Cool :)
