But for items like...

Hello folks, I finally purchased a 6" heat sealer to begin my mylar bag packaging. It is a hand held two jaw type. It was advertized on ebay as a KF-150CST. Both jaws heated, serrated surfaces. It is supposed to be teflon coated. The unit they sent me state "POLY" on the cheesy id tag. (yes...
