Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for adhering a vacuum to a surface is provided. A seal is positioned relative to a surface. The seal is associated with a structure and is in communication with a channel within the structure.

Air is drawn into the channel within the structure through the seal such that the seal adheres to the surface.
