You mention 'vacuum bag', can those storage bags be used for this?

Probably, for smaller items. It's probably flimsy vinyl, though.

The local purveyor of all things woodworking had a starter kit for
vacuum veneering on the display table last week. A skateboard kit.
Maybe $50, including a hand powered pump. Seemed like an inexpensive
starter kit.

Here's a link which has links to vinyl for bags, too.

Tap plastics has it a WHOLE lot cheaper, though:

0.020" x 54" @ $4.15/yd.

Thanks for the links.
