is this a good material for sealing the edges of a vacuum former frame for a good vacuum seal

yes...i would think so. the adhesive is VERY sticky. the material is dense. so I cannot imagine that it would let much air through...if at all....once pressed between two solid surfaces.

Can't answer. I bought the product for an automobile restoration. Sorry I can't help!

I will try to answer your question....but, what is a "vacuum former frame"?

Each Permatex gasket adhesive is specific for the function on the label - that said - I use the black most b/c it's a great adhesive as well - I recently did the valve covers on the old Yellow Dog Pickup and it seems to work as well for that app as the specific gasket sealer. I've used the Permatex line for decades - me fave is the black - reading the instructions on the packaging and tube seems to imply the products R for making gaskets rather than sealing or augmenting factory-type gaskets. I've done both. Reckoning what could it hurt added to a replacement gasket. It's a great way to stick a gasket that has a tendency for fall off during installation. ~:0) VivaChas!

No, I would no use this material for this application. It's too soft and would disintegrate rapidly.. A rubber material would be better this is like a foam material used TI seal air drafts or cushioning. Hope this helps...

I would think so , I have used it on other plastic and metal/wood it get hard and seals up everything

I tried to use it to seal plexiglass to sheet metal and it did not work at all. It may work for your application.

i suppose so. it is good stuff. it is probably not the best for filling holes, but good for sealing leaks and small gaps.

I've not done this personally, but see no reason why it would not be possible. depending on the moisture content, you may need to clean the new cut edge and get it dry for a proper vacuum seal again, but as long as you had adequate bag remaining for the new seal you should be able to easily re-seal the contents as if it was a freshly filled bag.

Hi I've used other vacuum bags when I wanted to rewrap cheeses and meats that I received from friends with different machines. I assume that would apply to the bags you're asking about. Vacuum and heat seal worked good on other bags. I hope that helps.

Yes, this product is great if you don't use it too roughly. The vacuum seal is excellent and keeps odors out, however if you (or friends of yours) start to pull the lid off without holding down the button, it will eventually wear out the vacuum seal. I've owned several Tightvacs of all sizes and shapes and they have all been great.

This material probably isn't too good for this application. We used it to seal gaps between floor and wall of our building. There was a lingering odor that took months to dissipate.

Hi, you could not find a better material, air sealing and insulation at once. Only issue is cost. This material expands very little and for filling entire wall cavities a bicomponent foam such as Tiger Foam would serve you better (google it, their web site has some great information about these jobs). In the Spring, I will foam between the rim joists and the outside foundation fascia, and this is what I will use. Have fun, Moreno

I too own an old Foodsaver vac. I had to cut the gasket in order for it to fit. It seems to work just fine for sealing but I haven't extracted air since buying it.

I don't know. I use either VacuSeal or Weston bags and I have found that they both work great. What brand of bag are you referring to in your question? Is it a bag that is specifically designed for a vacuum sealer?

I would say yes - it's great tape - really seals things closed. Great quality.

used as a gasket, I used it as a gasket for a water pump in the lower unit of a johnson 150 outboard motor. The gasket material was origionally used in airplanes via 3M corporation, I am not sure who holds that patent but the stuff is great. If you need a thicket gasket like for a rear end differential this is not the stuff, it makes a thin gasket similar to constructon paper.....

I would say yes. It is good grade. We used it to seal the interior of planter boxes. I doubt it is as durable as a poly based product but if your looking for an env safe and good safe product. This is a good choice. We were happy with the results and the product went a long way.
