Hand Vacuum Degassing Chamber - Resin Degassing

[@hkreations5108]

Hope all is well with you! This is a wonderful idea! I stopped using resin around Dec. because it was too cold in my place, but I was also having micro bubble issues too. Once all the bubbles have surfaced, you could take a straw and blow out the bubbles. Using a lighter, sometimes will "flash cure" the resin, locking any extra bubbles in, especially if it's been sitting for awhile. I was using ClearCast 7000 resin and I'm sure it was temperature/humidity related because it worked well in Nov. Glad you're back! {hugs}

[@tsummerlee]

I'll remember that. Thanks!

In case you or anyone else was wondering if this works on other materials... I tried this on home made gelatin mold material (similar to ComposiMold) and it worked pretty much the same as shown here, with the resin. Unfortunately, nothing I tried got rid of those last few extremely tiny/foamy bubbles on the top surface, but... Good enough, for me!

[@MrSpikesterman]

that a awesome idea, but I did notice a little shaking with the chamber, maybe if you glue it on a flat wooden board and screw it to an old wooden table, that might work from shaking

[@tsummerlee]

Maybe.

The creativity is endless with you ! Love your videos hun and hope you are doing well .. Xo !

You could use am electric food sealer system (Food Saver) that comes with containers and tubing that vacuums. This would be faster and save your arm/hand strength.

Thanks for the video! So great of you to share such a useful “hack” :)

[@nehemiahgrey625]

Pro tip: you can watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@kartermarcus3565]

@Nehemiah Grey yea, have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :D

[@stephengideon5000]

@Nehemiah Grey Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@UncannySociety]

Glad i saw this video. This is a really cheap alternative. I assume this also works when degassing silicone?

[@zhannamartin1940]

So happy I came across your video! Thank you so much for all that research! Buying one now. :)

[@TheTumblerUniverse]

You are a genius!!!!!

[@karenmc4592]

great idea, really happy your back, missed you alot.

[@andrewfleming5170]

so is granny making shatter?

[@sarajanehaven]

Have you tried using your vaccum hose to remove the air like you would with clothing storage bags? If you could get a good enough connection onto the container, it would be less labor intensive than using the pump. If the suction is too great, maybe use a deeper container. It would be an interesting experiment.

[@gailrod2096]

p.s. Have you ever written/published anything?

[@tsummerlee]

Outside of the internet? Nope.

[@debbiecarney1724]

your so smart, wouldn't have thought of this :)

[@gailrod2096]

T, thanks for the informative video. G

[@keithtam8859]

but how come your resin takes more than 10 mins to start curing??

[@brandontezeno_]

Im late but they got fast curing and slow curing resins. Just whenever you are buying resins look at the working time listed .

[@1Sweetness]

I just need a vacuum to pick up my beads I used to have one used by hand and now can't find one

[@OscarZoroaster]

$50 for a power supply ? just hook it up to an old phone charger of the same voltage

'While trolling some KZbin videos, ...' * Chuckles * Surely _trawling_? How thick a liquid hitherto, have you been able to degass with this method?

[@ahenzeaccessories]

yaaayyy...first to like.

[@crym88]

Ni sent you a message on Facebook

[@crystalpeacebear1985]

Watched several of your videos and you are turning me away by your complaining about it not working for you but does for others but you were only doing half of the directions because you felt certain directions or supplies weren't needed.

[@MrKylesauraus]

Technically this is a pressure chamber not a vacuum chamber- because you're forcing air into the tub instead of extracting it

[@tsummerlee]

absence of air is a vacuum, no? It pumps air out of the jar, leaving a vacuum.

[@MrKylesauraus]

by the looks of things your pumping air in are you not?

[@tsummerlee]

+Mrkylesauraus Music No. Out.

[@beingsshepherd]

It does look like a bicycle pump, but wouldn't pumping air _in_ be pretty useless for food storage?

[@LaserGadgets]

Read a book Kyle :p how would it look if it was pumping OUT? Moving it up then down instead of down then up? xD dude.

[@TordenPSM]

Can i have my 15 minutes of life back?
