I am planning to make an airtight box big enough for a long Co2 tube to fit into. I have the gloves for the box and am looking at some 1" thick plexiglass and 1/2" aluminum sheeting. I have a bottle of Co2 mix gas that came with another machine and I just got a nice medical vacuum pump.
I am not 100% sure how I want to do this, I could put some vacuum in the box and then remove the rear end cap. Add some gas to the box to bring it back up to atmospheric pressure, then vacuum again, then put the cap back on? Anyone done this before? While trying to find out about regassing a tube all I could find out is it costs about 1700.00
So if anyone has managed to do this before let me know if this will or wont work. I dont have everything to get started yet, so I am up for suggestions on other things I might need to do this also.
