HEY JIM.
What happened??? Did it work.

Thinking on my own again without any adult supervision.

There you go again...

it won't pull much of a vacumn, need that strong a vacumn to, whether the vacumn

before Rich throws the dictionary at you... vacuum

yes, be very interested to hear how this worked out. if it works and wouldnt leak sideways could get one a those treadmill things and have it set up so it could turn and tumble as well for making a huge batch of jerky...

sorry I haven't updated,it work really well even though I had the bail so full that when I pulled the vacuum on the pail it sucked the lid down enough that it partially pushed the food saver part up and a little side ways this put strain on the silicone caulk and the caulk actually pulled free half way around on the food saver part. This being said when I pushed the relief valve there was still a vacuum.
I need to find a better way of securing the to piece together.

Use this stuff...

And make a food safe "stanchion" to support the lid...a column inside the bucket...

Oh...and clean the area to be glued well..use scotchbrite pad to "rough it up" a little...

you know I looked at that the first time,but was concerned about it not being food grade.I guess if I just use it on the top side there should be no problem
