Plastic Wrinkles

The plastic bag has wrinkles when the vacuum is applied.  This will cause error in the mold and maybe create a mold that is unusable.  It the wrinkles are extreme, the socket made from the mold will not fit to the individuals leg.  To stop this problem a stretchy material may be used.  I started working with large latex balloons, but though they were the correct size inflated they started very small. 

inflated balloons are the right size 

the deflated balloons are too small to put a leg into
