Title: Re: bag seal or cloth seal ?? Post by: Chef Geoff on November 01, 2011, 03:18:33 PM Hi Mick It looks like a typical cloth seal, but you say it is 1 and 1/2 inches which would make it a giant in seal terms. Any chance you can actually measure the diameter of the seal in millimetres?
Title: Re: bag seal or cloth seal ?? Post by: mickycoin "mick" on November 01, 2011, 03:24:04 PM hi geoff it measures 20 mm in dia thanks mickycoin ;D ;D
Title: Re: bag seal or cloth seal ?? Post by: The Doc on November 01, 2011, 08:48:06 PM Yes, a cloth seal as Geoff said. It's from Augsburg, will usually have an 'A' on the other side. See here for one a bit similar:
