Resealing open circular tins

Resealing open circular tins

Sometimes I don't want to jar up every tin I open. This works with circular tins and sometime square tins but probably not for the new tins used by SG and GH.

How to reseal an opened tin? Get a vacuum jar that is big enough to hold the tin. This jar I can do five tins at a time and found it on eBay. Simply put the tins in the jar

Make sure the rim is free of tobacco and the seal in the lid is free of debris.

Run the vacuum either with a mason jar sealer on top with a bag sealer or get the hose attachment that fits in your bag sealer port if it has one.

Release the vacuum on the jar and the tin is resealed, hopefully . . . mileage may vary.

You should check on these tins weekly to make sure the seal held. Also when you have low pressure weather system you might want to check after as that is likely the best time for seal failure
