I am using the bag tubes, clips, and nipples from ACP, also their pump system with the cut off switch. I pump 23 - 24 inches of mercury. The bag will not leak enough to turn the pump back on all night, or maybe once in the week hours of the morning. I am still on the same bag I started with after many uses.
To make the hole for the nipple, I found a paper punch the right size, so the hole is round (no splits) and a tight fit.

When I got the bag set up I found that it leaked...again. Seems like every time that I start to do some bagging I have to spend an inordinate amount of time to get a non-leaking bag. You know, the kind where you can leave the pump off after pulling the vacuum. Many of you guys (and dolls?) have been to this dance before, I am sure. So, I thought to ask for advice... what you do in this regard? How do you create a never-fail bag? What tricks work for you? I hope that this doesn't start a thread as contentious as the one on the new JR frequency synthesized transmitter modules did. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
