Hi, I came across this thread, I'm in the process of setting up a vacuum press of my own. I've been struggling also with the difficultly of finding equivalents to the components on the joewoodworker website in the UK. I think I've found most of the equivalent stuff for the EVS pump and now I'm trying to sort out the bags.

I've been digging around and I think the adhesive required to bond up the bags may be A3701 Plasticised PVC contact adhesive.
