Ron PrattDrew, here is a video I made back before the VacMouse strip was invented. The seal done this way works fine and it could be the solution for overcoming all of the automatic features that your FS is trying to do for you. OTOH there are other tricks that might help you such as putting the meat in the Drybag and then slipping that into a leg of women’s panty hose. That will compress the bag around the meat expelling much of the air pockets. Another trick which works well if you have a helper then with your 4 hands massaging the air out while one of you has a straw or piece of tubing in your mouth sucking out air. Use of a bread twisty during that process also helps. Lastly, if you have a large enough vessel filled with water just submerge the meat in the bag and the water will expel the air and then quickly seal with a bread twisty. Otherwise practice is a good thing until you get the hang of it. Good luck next time around! Ron
