The bag is not firmly in contact with the ends of my strip loin, is that okay?

As title states. I have a 15 lbs strip loin I attempted to seal and had trouble. The strip loin had a curve to it so it was hard to get a uniform surface area lining but I did manage to get great coverage on the top and bottom of the loin.

My problem however is that the ends of the strip loin aren't attaching to the bag and are rather loose. I don't know if that's okay.

Another question I have is if I re-sealed it now with a new bag would that still work or once it starts drying you can't use a new bag?

Thanks for the reply Ron.

I have 2 15 lbs Loins in the fridge right now.

I plan to do a 28-30 day and the other as 45-60 day.

While I realize 30ish days are the optimal I figured I would have fun with it:)

Hey Ron, quick question.

I have two strip loins in the fridge with the umai bag.

One of them seems to have cling onto the meat and the other seems to be detached from the meat since about day 4-5(we're at day 10 now)


Is it bad that one of them seems to have not formed a bond and attached to the meat? One of the cuts looks like its legitimately a membrane and the other looks like a plastic bag just holding meat in it.
