Recently I requested and received samples of your resins in order to evaluate
for strength and ability to easily be machined.
The samples were:
Performance 80D
Alumilite Regular - Black
As it turns out both resins will meet my requirements.
The deciding factor most likely will come to how to achieve the
best results in how I intend to do the actual casting.
The casting I will be doing is very simple design and will be utilizing
an open top. "envelope" type silicone mold. In order cut time and expense
I would prefer not to use vacuum or pressure in the casting process.
From what I gather from reading on your website about these two resins
it appears that the Alumilite might be more suited to my needs. Would this
be the correct assumption? My goal would to have the casting be as free as
possible form trapped air bubbles on the surface. Would my casting technique
with P80D be more prone to having these air bubbles show up in the final
product? If that in fact is the situation, why is it that P80D is more prone to
having trapped air bubbles?
If I did have to utilize a pressure pot, for best results, what is the minimum PSI
I would have to maintain?
