Do You Cast Blanks Under Pressure or Vacuum?

[Randy_]

I have seen posts about casting blanks and it appears that some folks do it in a pressurized environment and others prefer a vacuum and there may be some who use neither? So here is a poll to see what technique is preferred.

I use poly resin with different kinds of dyes i have not yet tried to cast any objects in resin so i dont know how it would work without a presure pot but when i do i'll let you know.[][]

I have tried neither, use neither.

Vacuum is presure

I checked neither. This is because I use pressure on specific things and vacuum on other things. It's not whether I prefer one over the other, It's which one will do what I need it to do.

Steve: Thanks for your response. Did you mean to say "other" rather than "neither?"

 

[stevers]

Yes I did Randy, thanks.

You missed one option: I use vacuum followed by pressure.

Some times I use pressure fallowed by breaking stuff and throwing away the waisted resin.[][][][][]
