does this unit work well on PVC film and bags?

Well, Easyway 16" did not work well in our use, . We used easyway 8" unit on 12" PVC film pouches. That worked good. The only problem is you have to do two times first at one end and next at the opposite end. Thanks

To answer the question... Yes it works on both. Just adjust the heat setting accordingly. A few test runs may be required to get just the right seal. Thanks and have a great day!!!

I use them on poly bags and have never had a problem with these coming off.

Hi,I honestly have been sealing "treat bags" and have not use vinyl bags yet. I am very pleased with the Sealer since it is a professional one. and I am pretty sure it seal vnyle bags too if they are not that too thick!Best!

This is my second Foodsaver, an upgrade from my first one bought via infomercial. It's fabulous. I've used the first one to seal other types of bags, but I have not tried it with the new one. However, I can tell you that you can seal without using the vacuum function first. So it will probably work just fine.

I would imagine it is. I use it for drywall and plaster dust and it is great.It comes with 1 1/4 hose but the adapter size is a standard size andcan take the larger hose. It it's very good and very quiet. Don't use paper bags use the makita fabric ones and this thing will trap all the dust it sucks up. Concrete dust though is even finer than drywall dust so it may be better to getthe hepa pre filters.

Hi John, yes, probably. I bought some vacuum rolls by mistake. I used my sous vide bag sealer and it worked fine. I'm guessing that your food saver machine also seals bags by melting the plastic.

Yes, Scalewatcher works better on PVC than on metal pipes, please read more details here aquagenesisusa.com

The dust bag does catch sawdust, but not all of the dust. It does cut down on the sawdust better than it would without it. It does have to be emptied frequently, as it is undersized if you plan on doing much sawing. I have thouht an old pair of ladies hose may work as good if not better, but I don't know if they would hold up. You may try that first.

I found it worked on several size buckets/drums as long you have them sealed tight and a good shop vac. Hope this helps

We have PVC pipes and have had no obvious problem. Seems to work well, recommended to us by the local hardware store - a place that takes matters like this, quite seriously. In fact, the have a dozen alternative products and they were strong in recommending thus one. I put it in 2-3 times per year and leave a box on the floor with a list of dates. Smells a bit when you dump the stuff in the hopper and flush. So best to be leaving after application. And, best not to use caustic materials that drain to tank. Kills off te good bugs.

Your sealer is made to use with reuseable bags with vac port built into bag. So yeas you are correct, these won't work

The bags would work well. You may still have to clean yur filter, but the vac with the peper bags inside works well and picks up just about anything.

I made a gutter cleaning attachment with three pieces of one-inch PVC pipe and two 90-degree elbows, attaching it to the blower by cutting the bottom off a plastic bottle and taping it to the front end of the blower. Nothing elegant, but it works!

It actually does pretty well, but the dust bag is very small and needs frequent emptying....I reckon it depends on how much you do. If you sand indoors a lot, I'd recommend rigging up your shop vac to the bag portal...and you should be just fine. If you've never used this style, the mounting pad actually has several holes in it. The kit comes with a plastic punch die that punctures the sandpaper pad in line with the pad holes. Your vacuum will suck out the dust through these holes.....

Hi I've used other vacuum bags when I wanted to rewrap cheeses and meats that I received from friends with different machines. I assume that would apply to the bags you're asking about. Vacuum and heat seal worked good on other bags. I hope that helps.

Yes- the heat time is adjustable so it works with many different bags. You do need to practice a little to find the correct setting. One hint, start low and move up. If the setting is too high the plastic melts and sticks to the heat strip. Not good, and difficult to clean.

It does. I use it to protect the natural vachetta leather on my LV bags. There are still a few marks over time since that kind of leather isn't dyed or coated. Still, it keeps it protected, and a lot cleaner than it would otherwise be. And if you're using it on leather that is dyed or coated, there shouldn't be a problem at all.
