New use for mityvac

I was putting away the can of brake fluid after a very satisfactory pressure bleed when I knocked the plastic bottle of POR15 Metal Ready off the shelf . It had landed "cheese side up" so I just picked it up and put it back on the shelf and closed the paint cabinet door.
About 20 minutes later I reopened the cabinet goor and immediately saw the Matal Ready bottle was empty!!!
I quickly pulled out bottles, cans , jars and jugs of various chemicals and began to mop it up with a rag but as I wrung it out in an attempt to recover some. I suddenly twigged on the mityvac and within 10 minutes I managed to recover about half with the rest dispersed among the containers that were under the leak and dirtied rags.
Thanks to mityvac I saved enough of the MR for some future rust repair

I had a few possibilities in mind when I saw your thread title. That wasn't one of them.

Now the real question is could you use that for a Miti-vac in a pinch?
