Re:Use of a Check Valve for sealing

[Anonymous]

Another quick question this being my first DryBag attempt.
I have noticed a few small airpockets forming between the bag and Primal. Since I still have the check valve in place, I just slipped the vacuum hose onto the valve while it is in the Frig and pulled the bag tight again. So, my question is whether it would be helpful to keep the small vacuum pump running for a few days as the meat to bag bond forms. The hose is small enough that it does not really disturb the seal on the door of the refrigerator and after 2 days, at this point there is no more liquid coming into the check valve or hose. I suspect that the initial bloody liquid may have partially impacted the seal of the check valve on this first run.
