Volcano Bag Ties

[coma-boy]

As many of you will know, a new Volcano solid-valve comes with the first bag ready attached. It has a tough little metal strip holding the top of this first bag shut.

And then as soon as you change the bag you find some alternative tie or knot. Or not.

How do I get the correct type of wire plus correct crimping type tool to replicate S&B's?

Just saw a brand-new solid valve, and by comparison my ghoulish knot seems so barbaric.

Each roll of bag has a strip of the cellophane that you tear out and use as a tie. Just cut a short length and do a couple of double knots on the end of your bag for a perfect, air-tight seal.

Yep, that's what I currently do. But would love to mimic the neat original.
