Food Saver Dilemma - Page 2

I purchased the tape from McMaster-Carr and it fixed the problem. Thanks for the advice!

We have found it a bit frustrating as well that you cannot purchase replacement strips and wires from FoodSaver.  We are a website that primarily sells replacement kits for heat impulse sealers.  Sealers including FoodSavers will naturally go through sealing strips and wires as a part of "wear and tear".

We started making sealing wires for customers looking for replacement part so we started carrying them online now.  http://www.elementandteflon.com/foodsaverparts

We also came up with an instruction guide for changing out the heating wire as well - http://www.elementandteflon.com/blog/post/2834846

Those of you with the Food Saver dilemma I got the answer.. I have teflon tape that will solve your problem.

Let me know what length the heat sealer is on your food saver. Cost is $7.99 for 13 to 15 inches including postage.

Any questions contact me at  ccammisuli@comcast.net

ENOUGH ALREADY!

Hi!

In searching for a replacement gasket for my Foodsaver I came across this website: http://www.elementandteflon.com/

They say they are now the source for replacement elements for Foodsaver. Not sure if they have what you need, but figured a glance couldn't hurt.

I know this is an old post, but I just found it a few days ago.  I pulled out my old ultra unit as I setting up house again.  I sealed one bag and the tape came off with the bag.  I tried putting it back on a few times and it sealed, but that would get old doing it each time.  So off to google I went looking for some glue to fix it.  I stumbled into this thread and wanted to say thanks even though I doubt many of the users will see it.  I ordered the tape from McMaster-Carr on Monday and it arrived today, Wed.  I'm in CA so it's only about 75 miles away.  That's still pretty excellent service.  I cut a piece leaving enough to tuck into the slots on the edges and ran my finger from right to left and tada, she seals like new.  Again thanks for the great info.  Now I'll have backup tape when this piece wears out.  For me, I'm sure the 5 years of storage didn't do the unit any good, but most of my plastic stuff still looks and works great.  The ultra is yellowed but now works. 

Go to sausagemaker.com-- they sell vacume bags in 100 pkg lots--three sizes- I have used them with my Foodsaver and have had no problem.-- plus you can also reuse them-- there is a shipping cost but you are getting 100 bags. By the way-- for those of us who have had problems with the rubber gaskets--just dampen them down with a sponge -- that usually lasts for at least a dozen or so seals until you have to dampen them again-- better than purchasing new ones from Foodsaver at $3.00 each (I think that is the price for one gasket -- not a set of two-but I'm not sure) and then add shipping......shameful.  Have you tried using a stip of heavy duty aluminum for your sealing problem--just a thought?

good luck
