Would someone care to explain what a pressure pot is? I'm a total noob in these matters lol

To compress air bubbles so it doesn't stick in the resins surface.

From what I understand, that is pretty much it. You still have to paint it but it is much easier to do so and the results are generally more realistic looking.

ah, thx for the explanation Void.

It forces the air out, and also forces the resin into all the nooks and crannies. The mold itself must also be made under pressure, or the pressure pot will drive the resin into the air bubbles in the mold itself.

Proof that I'm not stalling

Best Bale likeness on the market.

As others have said, that flesh-toned head is the best if you can make it work.

Hmm.. I was thinking on another process, got mixed up. haha, but yes, I correct myself, it forces the bubble out.

... Pressure pot? Do not you speak rather about a vacuum chamber by chance, guys? :dunno :cuckoo:

@ Dean: take your time my friend, because things have to be slowly made so that they are made well.
... And I speak knowingly! :monkey3

Thanks for the explanations:hi5:

But yeah, i'm happy to wait if that means a higher quality cast! Do take your time to get this right Dean! Which I know you are

No - It's pressure. The pressure "pushes" the resin into the detail if you will. I will be using about 60psi.

I know you can degas silicone but I'm not sure if you can degas resin? Is that what you are doing. I have a buddy with an industrial vacuum pump I my try if so.

Also - This resin blooms or gels at 3 min. so I have a quick work time. I got the fast cure because if it took 6-8hrs for one batch... :horror X 130????

No thanks :lol

I believe -- this is from my research, not from experience -- that some professionals use a vacuum chamber to make the mold, and a pressure pot for casting. A pressure pot set to the right amount of pressure will accomplish the same thing during the making of the mold, squeezing the air bubbles out. The one thing I am familiar with is what happens when you pressure-cast using a mold that wasn't made under pressure or in a vacuum. The result is hilarious, but not usable.

No thanks :lol

Personally, I use some polyurethane resin which begins to harden at the end of 5 in 7 minutes and which I can unmold after 20 minutes. I prepare in two tumblers (or in two syringes, depending on quantity) the same quantity of resin than of hardener and I put them to remove bubbles during 10 minutes in the vacuum chamber. After that, I mix them correctly without moving too quickly at the risk of creating new bubbles. And Voila.
That's the classic method, I think... :dunno
