(HELP) Rookie concern and problem~

[Ron Pratt]

Jason, Too late now, but I always suggest taking your first bag and practice sealing it several times until you get the hang of how the bag acts with your equipment. That beats going through bag after bag! I must have practice sealed my first one 6 or 7 times. In re-reading your post there is actually a chance that with your multiple seals your Food Saver sealer bar became over heated and you actually melted or burnt a hole in the bag. Unless the UMAi bag puffs up meaning you have a major leak then a small amount of air or air pockets are not a problem. You should be fine, but if you can and you want to post a picture then I could even advise you better. Ron
