There was a recent thread here but it was mostly focused on ways of capping tubes.

I have a few tubes of fairly expensive adhesive products ($15-20 tubes). Everything from 1K fillers to high temp PCB epoxy.

It's annoying to have to pay $15 and find the tube has dried up and also it stalls the project.

I bought a set of these off AliExpress. They work well the first time. Once opened they don't seal well subsequent times. I'd always wrap with a cloth before sealing so no sharp edges but I'd find they would leak at the valve on subsequent sealing attempts.

Curious if anyone has suggestions for something similar but more durable. Good for at least 10 seal, open, seal cycles.

Food saver and make the bag longer than you need. Can reuse quite a few times.

There are tuperwares you can buy as well. The air is sucked out with a hose that the Food Saver has.

Probably available generic too, but to give you an idea...

Yeah, a generic version of this is what I'm looking for. I don't need anything where the pump also handles bags.

I actually have a dedicated vacuum pump (for a/c etc). Just need some kind of heavy duty container with a seal and vacuum port. I'm open to making something, I figured I'd find some mad DIY creation on youtube which is heavier duty than your typical food storage but I couldn't see anything.
