Veneer Vacuum bagger at Cosco

Bill Tindall, E.Tn.

We have someone in the club that makes decorative boxes to sell in craft stores. He is a clever sort that comes up with novel ways of doing all sorts of things. He found that the vacuum frozen food baggers available various places work as a vacuum bagger for veneering. While the width is limited to about 10", up to 10' in length could be bagged, more than sufficient for drawers. He demonstrated last night. Bagging took a fraction of a minute and the result could be set aside for cure. Bags can be reused so long as sufficient length remains.

Bags also come in long rolls.

Which could be used for long laminated bends. But that isn’t necessary, because all you really need is a length of some kind of cordage laying alongside the laminates , then connected or overlapping a piece of cloth taped to the end of the hose so the bag can’t seal the pat of airflow.

I’ve never checked the amount of vacuum that my vacuceal produces but it isn’t much.
