The cheapest and easiest ti find would be one of those you see on TV. You can pick one up at Wal Mart or Lowe's home center. Not sure if they get hot enough to seal metalized bags though.

Hi All! Our McDry dessicant cabinets have just been over-populated recently due to having to open vendor-sealed packages looking for certain DATECODE parts...(hmmm, this subject seems familiar for some odd reason...) Anyhoo, we've got a regular thermal sealer here, but we have now seen the need for a vacuum sealer... A vacuum sealer just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that air has been sucked out of the packaging with a dessicant packed in there with the parts, sealed off from the outside world as we know it, and they're slowly suffocating, slowly.. slowly..slowly. The moisture being steadily drained from their lifeless and uncaring souls...HA!HA!HA!HA!HA! Ahem, 'scuse me. Kinda' got carried away there, didn't I? Didn't mean to...really...my job isn't getting to me, it really isn't...honest. I did a search and got a gazillion hits for vacuum sealers, do any of you have one that you can recommend and like, to help me from having to make too many decisions? 'preciate it!!! -Steve Gregory- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
