  • vacuum bags.jpg
  • tissue paper.jpg
I just had a look at different vacuum bags in my house and realize that not all vacuum bags are ideal, so I should clarify on the one I used.

On the left is the genuine bag purchased at Menard. On the right is the cheap bag at Dollar store. Looking at the vertical space in the middle of each bag, you can see that the Rubbermaid bag is almost twice as transparent as the genuine one (obviously it's thinner). So, even though the Rubbermaid bag is not good for vacuum machine, it's ideal for a soft screen.

I also tested a tissue paper I found left after dinner. I took two shots: one with Rubbermaid vacuum bag, one with the tissue paper, and I couldn't tell the difference between them. The tissue paper is pretty strong too (it's from a big roll in the kitchen), but not as strong as the vacuum bag and is thicker.
