vacuum veneering ,bag seal

I have just got a new large vacuum veneering bag. I am using an old frig
compressor as a pump . this compressor will pull 25" of vacuum easily .

the problem is sealing the bag . I have tried the two boards with sealing
tape , the pvc pipe method a la taunton veering book and the two boards with
a 1/2"dowel glued insert .....all top no avail .the pump will not pull any
vacuum at all because I cammot get a decent seal .

Any suggestions appreciated.......mjh
