Good idea, thanks! I was just sealing up some stuff last night. Guess it's time to open 'em and try again... <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I've also been taking a small 2" or so piece of electrical tape, wrapping it over the top lip of the sealed bag (actually sealed twice), and cutting a small slit in it. Makes opening the bag by hand very easy. I got the idea from one of Doug's pages where you can see it had been done:

I don't use quite as much tape as in the picture, but it still seems to work fine. This way I can seal up the sharps in my trunk kit.
