figure it out yourself. theres a million ways, but if you cant think something up, you're too stupid, and probably going to screw up someone's carefully worded instructions.

here's a list of things i might try, if i was to do this, in order from cheapest to most expensive/hard to find. i just made all these up in about 10 seconds, and im completely flabbergasted why you are asking a dumbass question like this.

chewing gum
duct tape
zip ties
shoe goo
pipe clamps
gooey black sealant
an actual air valve that has a threaded base that you put rubber washers on and screw the nut down and it clamps itself onto the bag. durr.

that was a little unneccery, but you need to do a bit of searching (the forums and or internet) for yourself or at least stick to one thread, theres three treads by you all on the front page of the board building section asking questions on the same topic.

You would first have to convert the pump to make a vacuum make a manual vacuum pump for under $20 by converting a bicycle pump shows you how to do that. Then you could get a schrauder (spelling is incorrect but it is used on cars)valve and fuse, clamp, screw, or something.

I've been researching this for a while and plan on doing it that way when I have the time/money.
