    Does this SUCK, or what!!!

    I really like your discovery. The plastic is cheap enough that one can make several different sizes/patterns to fit various/unique projects. Great use of cost effective, readily available items. A true DIY solution. Thanks for posting.

    Randy,
    I may not be good....

    Nice posting, thanks for the tip on using shelf-lining material. Funny thing is I have rolls of that stuff sitting around but never thought to use it in a vaccum setup.

    Thanks,
    Robert
