A regular clothing iron works fine
Set it to the "wool" setting. It is inexpensive and works great! It doesn't hurt the iron, either, but if you're concerned about it, you can get an old iron at a thrift store.
I tried my Foodsaver to seal the mylar bags (5 gallon pail liners) but the bag was so wide that it was kinda awkward. But I know of some people who do that. One of the disadvantages to using the Foodsaver is that the seal created is pretty narrow. I felt better about having a wider seal.
