vacuum bags revisited

hobbsla · Since 28 Jan 2006 389 Posts Obsessed

I tried vacuum bagging one of my kites today. I sucked out as much of the air as possible and when I was done I sat looking at it with visions of permanently creased valves and tweaked one pump hose/connector thingys dancing in my head! I looked at older posts on the subject and the consensus seems to be there is 'no problem' with taking out as much air as you can.

I guess I need to hear just once more that this wont f! up my gear! Embarassed

Thanks

I have done it several times with no problems.

Ditto. I've used 'em many times with no problems.

I wrap tissue paper around any hard objects and have had no problem, I have gotten 3 kites in my carry on, but one is in my fake laptop case. Idea

Phil and I had ours in those bags for a month while traveling around OZ and they were fine.

pack an extra one just in case the bags tear while your one your trip.
