Is Ive been wanting one since the day of of getting started with mylar bags.. but could not find any really reliable information on using one with mylar bags.

So I took the plunge and scored a 16" 800w impulse sealer that does a 5mm wide/tall seal.

I just took a gallon bag, filled it 7/8 full with tap water, gave it *ONE* seal... Took it outside and stood on it... with both feet, my 230lb fat ass didnt bust the seal! So I kinda did a baby hop on it, figured it would bust for sure... nope. The bag is now sitting on my kitchen table awaiting further orders, and not a drop of water nor one pinhole leak.

Ill do a more in depth review after Ive given it more time, and a video of course...

HTH someone...

$90

Worth it to get a perfect seal, every time.... No wondering if the seal is good or not.

You could go with a shorter sealer, which would be cheaper of course, but I wanted one I can seal a one gallon bag long ways also. Ive settled on only using one gallon bags for numerous reasons.
