Often polypropylene bags can be purchased with a Ziploc closure which produces an effective seal and has the advantage of being reusable. One can also purchase an electric sealer which does a good job. Lastly, an effective seal can be made by joining the edges of the plastic bag together, covering them with aluminum foil and using an iron to melt the edges together. The purpose of the aluminum foil is to prevent the melted plastic from sticking to the iron.

Is hefty food bags waterproof?

Yes. Hefty bags and Ziploc bags are both waterproof. Do NOT use the slider seal ones... they don't seal tight like the other ones. By other ones, I mean the snap and seal ones. They protect better, because they seal tighter. If you want to put your electronic device inside to use underwater, they still work. Use one snap and seal bag and duct tape to seal it shut for more protection. The sound and picture may be a bit fuzzy, but it still works :)

How do you make things airtight?

The best way to make an airtight bag is to use one of those fancy bags that you suck the air out of. If you are looking for a cheaper way then plastic bags (garbage bags) will work. You just make an incision and suck the air out and close it before the air comes back in. One can make airtight bags using existing plastic bags and a lighter, soldering iron, or another device capable of melting the plastic. For small airtight bags, one can start with a plastic sandwich bag where three of the sides are already made and generally already airtight. In order to seal the open side, one can lay a flat, metal object (or another material that won't burn, this is the guide) along the area one wishes to seal and run a soldering iron (or any metal utensil heated enough to melt the bag) along the outside of the guide. The two pieces of the bag should melt and fuse into an airtight seal if done carefully. This technique can be scaled up using garbage bags or larger pieces of plastic to create larger bags.
