As Dean says- be reasonable.
Now you know, the most important thing is to find the most sticky mat possible. I would go further and say that best result is a combination of screws and vacuum, hence, custom fixture for each part done in quantity. I also have thought to make the sticky thing from casting silicone gasket in shape if necessary
Not trying to sell, but if you have a total of 30 euros to spare, i can send you a slightly used brand pressure switch with digital pressure readout and analogue 5v output, which new goes for around 80-90euro at least. PSA4-102VP. I have 2 of them if sb needs. so you could use it to read negative pressure, switch on off compressor by relay / if additional deposit for vacuum, and so on...
as i said any 1hp-2hp air compressor, take out inlet filter and fit there vacuum hose. Usually 3/8" adapter. Rarely 1/4". At the output fit some connector so the compressor blows out at all time, without switching off. Furthermore a vacuum deposit made from propane bottle could be fitted between vacuum hose and air inlet, plus the switch could stop compressor when desired negative pressure achieved. So electricity is saved.
