I just received these and am confused by the instructions on the bag. It says "1. Open the bag and remove dry packs. 2. Place them in the bag with items they are protecting 3. Heat seal the bag." What are they talking about? I am using this for a safe....

You will need much larger packs. Unless you put 20 - 30 of those in a safe. Buy bigger metal covered packs.

Mine came loose in a bag, with instructions. That seems to imply it was taken from a 5-pack.I think the different answers you are getting are due to folks ordering from different vendor choices on Amazon.I ordered mine from Amazon itself.

I have placed them in boiling water before to heat contents. Just don't let the bag rest against the hot pan out of the water and onlyBoil long enough to to heat the contents

I open an end of the roll and slide the product I am going to seal in it. I then use scissors to cut an inch to an inch an 1/2 (maybe more until you get more confortable with it).. I then stick the cut end in the sealer, making sure the bag laps over the heat bar. Mine is an old sealer so after I punch the seal button I hold it down. The light will light up when it becomes totaly sealed on that end. Turn and seal the other end. I have had mine for twelve years.

It doesn't say on the bag, but they are pretty thin. I use a heat sealer on mine but only for about 2 seconds

I was told to just immerse the bag into the water bath (before heating it up) and bring the zip to just above the water line and close it, being careful not allow any water in. I tried sucking the air out as I do with stuff I'm putting in the freezer- bad idea, coughed on garlic powder and pepper!

I seal anything with some liquid that could get sucked up in another bag first. I either use a cheap zip-lock bag & push the air out of it, or a regular food storage bag and do the same push the air out and twist it, then put it in the Waring bags & seal it. This keeps the liquids from being vacuumed into the machine, or at least you can see it seeping out & can stop before they start seeping up to the vacuum. I usually get a pretty good seal before that happens. This makes cleaning your resealable bags easier.

I store both opened and unopened packages in the refrigerator. After opening the bag, I fold shut and reseal the open end with a bag clip or a large rubber band, then I place it in a one gallon plastic zip bag, press out the air and seal. This keeps it moist since it may take months to use a bag.

I had 1 in the past that works better than this when did. It's supposed to melt the 2 sides of the plastic or the bag together to reseal it. But this 1 didn't work very well no matter how slowly or quickly I went and it has new batteries. Hope this helps you.

I keep them in the ziplock bag they came in just make sure that it stays sealed. It wouldn't hurt to throw onther bag over the first one, the big thing is to make sure they do not dry out

Sorry Wendy. I do the same as the other respondent. The bags are huge and I always put them in airtight containers. I have a small bag from a local Amish bulk store and the ingredients on that label are the same as was previously mentioned in the other response.

Look at the image of the picture. you fold the neck of the bag tightly and repeatedly. Then you take clips and clip in the opposite direction of the folds. It is super simple and these are by far the best dry bags I have ever owned.

The ones I received at the time have no seal option. At one end, one side of the bag is about 1 3/4" longer than the other so it can be folded over, but there is no seal included. You must apply your own type of seal; i.e. tape or perhaps heat if you have it.

Yeah, these are like what they put in shoes at the store. The entire bag will not be ruined if you open it just make sure you store in an airtight place. You can heat them in the oven to dry them out for reuse.

You just press the seal together - there should be a plastic tab on the top that you squeeze and run across the top. You sometimes have to squeeze hard to get the bag to seal.

Cut to side, then you seal one end with the heat sealer, the place food in the bag, and put the open end in the sealer. The sealer sucks the air out before it heat seals the end. Each foodsaver is a little different so follow the directions, it's pretty easy.
