Yeah Ive redone 6 moulds so far, no bobbles at all now:)
Just cast up and painted this little dude
Not one air bubble on the first cast! Didnt even have to break the mould in:) Really stoked, its going to make my life so much easier. When Id get an order and it was taking 2/3 casts to get a good copy it was such a pain. Or resorting to filling the holes with half cured resin and a sculpting tool it was no fun lol.
I was using a sock to muffle the venting. Ill check out the silencer though Zac, thanks for the link.
Rage, I think ill pick up the Vacuum pump next payday. Even if its just to degas the silicone before applying the pressure. As always any budget I think I should stick too goes out of the window when the inner enthusiastic muse takes over
The older moulds ive used havent been to bad so far. The bobbles just flick off.
Started some 15mm GIrls Und Panzer crew sculpts for flames of war now I know I can fill the moulds properly too. Tried casting 6mm minis in the past at room pressure and it was hard work. Hopefully this should be easier with the right gear.
Thanks again!
Cheers
