The answer to your question is a simple yes Stan, with emphasis on "acceptably".
Plus most vacuum failures can simply be resealed to achieve acceptable performance.
Check out http://www.sorbentsystems.com/ for the variety of equipment and supplies
that they offer. They offer a full range of commercial equipment and supplies as well
as their home user products.

I buy only single layer 3 mil bags, although they offer a wide variety of thicker poly
bags as well as foil products. As soon as you get beyond the 3 mil materials, you
approach Tilia prices for bag material.
