RE: [AlpacaTalk] Re: need to have fiber processed, need suggestions

 

Morgen,

 

I just gathered the top of the bag to fit around the vacuum hose then held tight, and had my son turn it on when I was ready.  When the air was all out, I just twisted the bag closed real fast.  It works the same as the bags made for doing that, but I didn’t have any of those bags, so I worked with what I had.  The fiber didn’t get in the vacuum at all, I guess it likes to stick together.

How did you suck all the air out of the bag without vacuuming up the fiber?

Sorry for the dumb question...
