Most people would recommend a pressure pot for degassing resin. But if you use a slow setting resin, the vacuum chamber can really work on achieving crystal clear castings.
Tools and materials I propose:
Vacuum chamber kit: amzn.to/2E4L5jd
Vacuum pump oil: amzn.to/2Ul0XE5

I think if you can get away with a vacuum pot for your needs then it is best to stay there. You can always get better results with a pressure pot as you can do it after pouring your mold but there is also significant danger involved with pressure pots. Vacuum is not even close to as bad as things will implode rather than explode. It can still be dangerous of course but just not as bad. This video doesn't really show it but you usually end up with bubbles on your pour into the mold when you use a vacuum pot. This really depends on the exact mold you use, some are easier than others to avoid bubbles.

@MarkMcCluney 5 лет назад

Fascinating! And dramatic is certainly the word. Amazing to see just how much air is dissolved in the resin - it produces so much foam. That's quite dramatic too. Thanks for this mate, most interesting.

@Polymerbob 5 лет назад

I used to vacuum acrylic resin several years ago. I utilized a technique I haven't heard mentioned in any of these videos. When the resin was about to overflow, I would close all valves and trap the vacuum. The bubbles would slowly subside on their own. Then I would vacuum again, trap again, and repeat until I saw no more bubbles.

@ScrapwoodCity 5 лет назад

Totally agree!

@ScrapwoodCity 3 года назад

@FALCONMINISTUDIOS 3 года назад

@@ScrapwoodCity your welcome. You clarified my doubt because everyone else was saying its better to use a preasure pot to cast resin but you showed how by letting some air in every time the resin rises to bring it back down, will eventually get rid of all the air bubbles. So no need to have to use both machines.

I've discovered that my resin casting literally deflates when I use this technique. Not sure if I'm going too fast or using a resin that sets too quickly or both but my results are catastrophic. I'm using five minute set resin. Please help!

@jamescolton1085 5 месяцев назад

Does tap water boil at room temperature in your chamber? I am thinking your red dye was suspended in tap water, distilled water, or alcohol and that liquid boiled off as well as the other bubbles expanding to exit.

This method seems to be perfect! You mention about using slow setting resins; the one I usually use sets in 24 hours - would this be too quick for it to work? Thanks for your help.

@ScrapwoodCity 4 года назад

You need about an hour of working time in my opinion. Check the specs of your resin. :)

@lizal2324 4 года назад

Hi, thanks for posting and sharing tips on how to degas resin! How are you able to keep the pump going for that long? My instruction manual says that once the needle stops moving the pump needs to be shut off. I have a 2 QT BACOENG VACCUM CHAMBER AND PUMP. It takes less the 30 seconds for the needle to get to -29 and then stops moving and I have to shut it off (stays on less then 1 minute) and there are still so much bubbles in the container. I hope you can help me.

@ScrapwoodCity 4 года назад

Actually I don't turn the pump off. I usually de-gass for about 5 minutes then I stop and then I repeat the process a couple of times more. Sometimes you may still see bubbles during the vacuum process. But in the final product they will not be visible!

@johnboyjr21 4 года назад

Let the pressure back in till they collapse and pull the vacuum again. Don that until you can keep a vacuum without excessive bubbles. If that's what you're doing, try a different resin

@MattThompsonOnGoogle 3 года назад

So many people need to understand how essential degassing is. And not just before the pour, but after. But, don't a lot of long-settimg resins build up more heat? And I'd still recommend pressurizing during the final setting. My experience is not from making beautiful art pieces, but making hardware that goes into outer space. It is nice to see these standards being applied to art as well. Beautiful example of proper degassing.

@MattThompsonOnGoogle 3 года назад

Also, I highly recommend opening the release valve and normalizing the pressure BEFORE turning off the vacuum pump, especially if you are using an oil-lubricated pump. Otherwise the vacuum chamber can pull contaminants and oil out of the pump and into the chamber.

@ScrapwoodCity 3 года назад

Thank you for your comment. I will try out your suggestions. In my video all I did is sharing my personal experience knowing that it works for me and the kind of projects I do!
