@Calvin: do you have any pics/vids etc? I fail to see the difference between concept of casting in vacuum chamber and pressure pot. As far as my thinking and observation goes it is all about building difference in pressure.To explain how I see things clearer: - when vacuum casting I`m pouring...

@Calvin: the thing is that with the same mould I get perfect results when using vacuum chamber and can`t get the same effects with pressure. I agree that 60psi is quite a pressure. By "slower" I simply meant I haven`t let the air in rapidly - I`ve started from 0psi and I`ve gradually built it to...

@Tommi: how big minis do you cast? are you getting the foam build / foam fall effect within this 1 minute?

@tommi: the problem is that to get perfect results when using vacuum chamber I need to keep the mould in it for at least 3 minutes. I can only shorten this time with simple casts. Faster resins (Biresin g27 fe) have a pot life under this time and when you add the time for mixing, pouring etc it...

After some encouragment I`ve decided to give casting in pressure pots a try. So far I`ve used vaccum chamber and got perfect, bubble-free casts. But the idea of using faster resins is so tempting... The problem is I can`t get it right. So far I got good casts in pressure pot only with...

Whoa! Thx for replies - they are REALLY handy. So far haven`t heard about Sika resins. I`ve taken a look at techical data and G26, G28 resins look very promising (G27 propably too, as soon as I get new pressure chamber - currently I have only vaccuum chamber working). One more question about...

hi there, I`ve been using SMooth-On resins to cast minis and bits for quite a time. Unfortunately their prices at the local supplier in Poland reached the level I think I can`t afford. SO here comes the question: do you know any other supplier in Europe or alternative resin, with similar...
