Hello list,

I was just sitting down eating breakfast and my wife was watching an
infomercial on a product that is called " Foodsaver ".
The product is used with thick plastic bags. The way it works is, the
machine vacuums out all of the air and the food is sealed air tight in a 3
layer plastic bag.
Of course I thought, this has to be the ultimate way to protect meteorites
from moisture.
Sure, it wouldn't be an appealing way to display meteorites. But, like
myself Im sure many collectors have numerous meteorites just stored away in
plastic containers.

I was wondering if anyone uses this machine currently to store meteorites.
I would like to see how effective it is.
Im sure its available on ebay listed under the name : Foodsaver
