    Default Vacuum chamber


    I see some guys on YouTube use the vacuum chamber to remove air bubbles from their plastic before injecting, any of you guys use one? If so is it really worth it?


    Thanks,
    Nate.

    I agree its not worth if u have a bunch of microbubbles just let it cool off for a sec then put in microwave for another 30 seconds keep repeating and they will disappear

    Never seen the use for one. I use a heat gun to get rid of any bubbles that I have. Seems to work pretty good.

    If you use 5mm or 1/4 inch glass stirring rods instead of flat stirring implement you will greatly reduce the number of bubbles in solution.

    I haven't seen a need for this with bait plastics and the method described above.

    I’m going to give this a try, I am currently stirring with butter knifes. Thank you for the tip.

    Thanks, Nate.

    Back when I started 2014 I would've loved one with the plastisol I started with. Now a days there is better plastisol and not needed. Any bubbles I get I let sit for minute or so then run a torch across the top to burn the bubbles off.
