[Harry]

I've located a place in town that sells rolls of autoclavable "tubing". My
plan was to buy a roll and heat seal the ends before placing in the pressure
cooker. . I'm sure for sterilization this is ok, but I'm now reading about
"microventing" & I'm not sure if the "tubing" will be sufficient for this
casing tek.

The problem is money, I'm sure that the unicornbag or Mycobag is much better
but my dogs experiment has already cost him a bunch & I'm sure he will come
to me soon for a loan and I'm broke too.

P.S. Not much info on http://www.unicornbags.com/ , but I'll keep searching.
Perhaps they do business over email instead of posting prices and details
