    Vaculiner is a plastic webbing manufactured by the Rey company that
    is placed inside the flask around the inside diameter. It allows
    gasses to escape easier because they only have to travel the radius
    of the flask in all directions to reach an exit point. In a pinch I
    use the plastic webbing that liquor stores use around wine bottles
    to protect them. It is not as dense a mesh but seems to work when I
    run out of the vac-u-liners. Something else that I failed to mention
    is that I always scrape the very top of the flask after the
    investment has hardened as it creates a less pourous film on the
    surface when it hardens.. I don't know for sure but I think you can
    order the vaculiners from Lathrop's Gems in Houston Texas on Ferris
    street. I don't have their address handy but they should be easy to
    find.. 

hope this helps. Frank
