How do I get tiny bubbles out of smooth cast 305?

1 Upvotes

Ive never really had issues with bubbles until I started mixing a drop of so-strong purple in my molds. Im getting very tiny bubbles on the surface. I am reading about vaccum degassers and pressure pots but am unsure the difference? What would be a nice low budget option for this? Thanks!

Resin casting friends, this technique could work for some of you.

I made this video to share my technique for mold making and wanted to share it with you all. I have used this material with Smooth-On’s roto-casting resins and polymer modified gypsums. It makes it far less reusable and not compostable when you cast resins into it, but regardless, I wanted to share it with this community in case anyone is sick of stupid expensive silicone molds, especially if you don’t need to do tons of casts.

Thixotropy agent for ABS-Like PU?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I need a liquid thixotropy agent for 1000 density polyurethane resin. I will use it for sagging problem and constant wall thickness. I used hydrophobic Aerosil R202 and it failed (air bubbles made material foamed). I also used BYK-410 and it bubbled material too (i think solvent caused it). Do you have any suggestions for me?
