Hello, I need help with pouring concrete. I have the problem that I have air pockets on the pointed parts at the very top. Even when I test fill the mold with water, air pockets appear. Is there a way to get rid of these air pockets? I have a vibration table, but unfortunately it doesn't help.

I would design the process so the pointy stuff is facing down while cast if possible.
Maybe you need two compositions; one has a finer aggregate or is otherwise runnier to sluice into all the details, while the other stronger mix is poured over wet?
Another thought as a non-concrete person is that the master could be re-tooled with less pointiness, so the mold doesn't have sharp crevices.
In my casting I always pour into the lowest part of the mold. If you have multiple sub-lowest points, they each need their pour.
