[QUOTE="Dw07u, post: 178875, member: 33343"] Hi I'll be following this thread. My girlfriend and I are looking into resin projects and I think I would love having the molts permanently-preserved in resin so I can keep a collection of my T's growing. So I also watch plenty of YouTubers such as Evan and Katelyn, but have not done any resin stuff myself. So what I can take away from those whom I watch: In regards to bubbles, if you do not have the pressure or vacuum chambers, a slow curing resin would be best as it will allow bubbles to rise to the surface and you can sand them off or use a hot blow torch to pop them. My understanding is that a pressure pot is more effective in dealing with bubbles after it's been poured as it squeezes it out while the resin is curing(leaving it in the pot to cure under pressure). I've seen vacuum chambers being used more before the pour(before the curing process has really started). Keen to see what this would lead to. [/QUOTE]
