    i use my vacuum sealer to make custom bags, just make sure to experiment a bit first because the ziploc and other brands are much thinner than proper vacuum seal bags, go a few seconds at a time and open it up early,
    (don’t let it go full seal cycle)
    wait a few seconds to let it cool before removing or you will tear your seal.

    more robust. Quarts & 1 gallon are my go to. They do make a 2 gallon

    Tip from a blacksmith. Another good reason to use an old knife...heating the steel up to the temperature indicated by the color softens (anneals) the steel.

      I don’t see why you couldn’t do it with electric you would just lay the blade on burner.
      Small hole use a lighter. You have to put the part to be sealed between something to keep melting whole thing. You then take the lighter and quickly and lightly put the flame to it. Sealed won’t be as perfect or pretty but won’t be wasted either.

    • @ReadyUpGo
      @ReadyUpGo 4 місяці тому +1

      I’ll take a stab at this question since it’s not too old and no one else has.
      I would think that if you lay a dull table knife on the heat circle in a way that heats the tip for about an inch back you would have it plenty hot enough to melt bags. You may need to press the tip to the surface with a something heavy like a small cast iron pan . I would experiment with heat settings and use the same knife in the future. Beware of the handle getting hot and do a practice run to determine what speed works best across the bag to result in a good seal for a given tip temperature. Parchment paper over and under the bag prevents melted plastic where not wanted. Best to you.

    • @Harley--Quinn

    I have done similar for years. I would just cut the bag to a little bogger than the size I wanted, put all but the edge I want to seal in an old book. The use a lighter or heat gun to melt it together.

    Hi! Question, I have an electric stove... What else is hot enough, flame only, or possibly something else?

  • @sacrebleu1371

    I would consider using a portable butane burner or gas grill burner outdoors to do this, but would not want the plastics release indoors nor breathe it as I worked. I have a table on my open air porch for doing this and a small fan to blow fumes away. I create my own slinky weights for fishing and do this set up, even when using the pencil torch or bag sealer.

    An ammonia soak is the easiest way to remove char. Put item in baggie with ammonia and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. Char wipes off easily.

    I use little plastic bags to make ice cup singles. I'll buy a bag of ice and before it gets hard in freezer and separate in little bags. My building has old copper pipes makes my tap water smell and taste funny. So this is a easy way to get fresh ice in my cup without using a ice pick to grab ice.

      Your water shouldn't smell or taste funny as you say. You ought to get it checked out. We nearly all have copper pipes these days. Our house is very old and used to have lead pipes, make sure yours' don't.
