Q&A Q: Does it work with all types of resin?
A: It is suitable for vacuuming low or medium viscosity resin, such as deep pour resin and other thin resin, but it is not suitable for quick-dry resin and thick resin. If the resin temperature is too low and results in thick resin, you need to heat it up to 70-80 °F before using it.
Q: Could I directly place the molds that have cast resin in the resin bubble remover machine?
A: Silicone molds cast with resin are not suitable for vacuum degassing because the air bubbles attached to the surface of the silicone cannot be easily pulled away.
Q: Could I add pigment, mica powder, or glitter to the resin and then put resin into the resin bubble remover machine for vacuum degassing?
A: Do not add other mixtures to the resin, such as mica powder, glitter, and inlays that react chemically with the resin, as they will continually generate large amounts of air bubbles that will overflow the container under vacuum.
Q: Why does the resin fail to degas?
A1: Check if the machine is functioning properly and if the sealing is good.
A2: Too fast drying of resin and too low temperature of resin will also affect the degassing efficiency.
Q: After vacuuming, there are still air bubbles in the resin, is it necessary to repeat vacuuming until there are no air bubbles?
A1: If there are still air bubbles in the resin after vacuuming, it may be due to incomplete mixing of the resin, so it is necessary to mix the resin completely before vacuuming.
A2: After vacuuming, if there are still a few tiny air bubbles at the top of the resin, you can remove them with a lighter or heat gun.
Q: How to open the lid after vacuuming?
A: Wait for 1 minute to release pressure after turning off and then open the lid. One hand grasping the protruding part of the canister, and another hand pull up the protruding part of the lid, it will be very easy to open. You can test to open the lid without the resin.
