Tiderunner Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Considering a vacuum chamber after the holidays as a gift to myself for being such a good boy this year. For you vacuum chamber guys out there, what size pot are you using? I use primarily 2 cup pyrex measuring cups. Would a 2 or 3 gallon be big enough? I doubt if I have enough room in my work area to add a 5 gallon. Suggestions? This is the one I have in mind. vevor.com/vacuum-pump-c_11109/3-gallon-vacuum-chamber-w-4-cfm-deep-vane-pump-purge-degas-epoxy-silicone-resin-p_010190667556 I hope links are allowed here.

JayBead Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I’m considering getting a vac chamber also I’m fairly new to the soft plastic game and so far I’m in love as of right now I only do salmon egg beads mainly used for PNW Salmon/Steelhead but I’m trying to figure out at what step would the vac chamber be used im guessing after the plastic is heated but by the time it’s degassed it’s gonna have to be heated again this forum is the main resource I have for information any help gladly accepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I don't have a vacuum chamber but pretty sure you use it before heating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiderunner Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Some de-gas the plastisol before and after heating. If heated to proper temps, it will be still hot enough to inject. Especially with the small baits you're shooting? You getting a lot of bubbles? What brand of plastic are you using? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
