Hi Russ,
There is nothing special needed to attach the tube to bag, just cut an
extension of the bag up along the tube about 2 inches or so where the
tube meets it. Seal it almost to the tube being careful not to seal it TO
the tube, or melt the tube. Pull the tube out and slide it back in doused
with Aquaseal. You can clamp it, or what I did was wrap tape around it
all until it dried. There are valves available but bone or wood plugs
work too.
