I'm interested in doing a casting project with Performance 80D
I understand that steps must be used to eliminate air bubbles
in the casting.
I currently do not have a vacuum pump or a pressure pot. I do have
an air compressor. So, I could easily fabricate a pressure pot out
of perhaps a kitchen pressure cooker pot.
As an alternative...
I have seen a video awhile back where the mixed resin held in the
mixing container was elevated some distance above from the mold.
A small opening was made in the resin container and the resin was
allowed to stream out very slowly and in a thin stream into the mold.
The result was a casting void of air bubbles.
Will this technique work with Performance 80D?
The project will use an open top, envelope type mold.
