What I'm after is either a second hand vacuum or bodge from a fridge pump etc. I'm looking for suggestions on what others have done and how they work. It might be I need to bite the bullet eventually but for now I need to do this on a tight budget.
Cheers
You could also use a venturi vacuum generator, I've sold these to a company making prosthetics.
Only problem is you need to keep supplying it with compressed air until the glue cures.
