Hello,

I was hoping to get some suggestions on vacuum bags for different clamping operations, are you using vinyl or poly bags and where did you get them. I've found a few that look good just looking for thoughts from experienced users.

Thanks,
Greg

I am using the duramax elite bags from VeneerSupplies. I really like them.

I heat welded a vinyl shower curtain for my big bag and I use garbage bags for smaller stuff. It's sort of ghetto but it's always worked so I haven't taken the time to get a 'real' one idunno

For a new "retirement" hobby I'm setting up to saw thick amboyna and thuya burl veneers and apply to Russian plywood for high end table and furniture stuff. These guys have been great to work with on vacuum presses, bags and clamps. They sent a personalized letter when I requested their catalog.
