Mason jar sealer?
To dmg725: to make the tabs, look at the link in my post above, it shows you how to make them for next to nothing, and very easy to make too.
Mason jar sealer?
I have the pump-n-seal, but also experimented with the vacuvin pump to see if it could be used in the same way, and also made my own check valves for a tiny fraction of the price (and very easy to make). The vacuvin can be adapted for jar sealing, and has the added benefit of sealing bottles (the p-n-s can only seal screwtop bottles). If you don't live in the US, then the vacuvin would be cheaper too, as shipping is expensive, and the vacuvin is widely available. I wrote about it on my website on this page
www.judyofthewoods.net/pump.html - even if you have the pump-n-seal (easier to use because of the suction base) you can still save lots of money on the valves by making them yourself.
