Great to hear you admitting that the problems with the molds are due to you & not a problem with the mold itself. As for clearing the surface bubbles the best method I've come across is by using a long neck lighter, the flame temp is much lower than the heat gun or the torch & so it takes MUCH, MUCH LONGER to cause any damage to the mold & the other thing is that using IPA will dry the silicone mold out & shorten it's life so that's why I avoid using IPA to burst bubbles.

The bubbles around the eyes and nose actually look kinda cool

I think one of those big skulls with a single 30 sided die would be pretty cool. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼

You are the first person I have seen using my favorite resin. I love the liquid glass deep pour and liquid glass 24.

Great video, thanks!

Great video thanks a lot, couldn't catch what kind of tape you used on your inserts?.

This had some of the best tips I have seen. I have never seen the pressure pot and I would love to have the measurements to make the tray you use to make the tray that drops in beautifully.

I do mine using gravity and no pressure pot. I fill mine with polished agates... Bubbles are minimal and they look beautiful.

wow these are amazing!~ tho im waiting to see more videos of your poured resin molds etc...thanks for the videos!

Just wanted to thank you, I bought the pressure tank. It works great so thank you

Great to hear!

Can you recommend a different mold release? The one you have is no longer available.

Would you Recommend attempting this with 1-1 instead of deep pour With brass inside. Without pressure pot-- Thanks

How do you get your brass so shiny? Do you tumble it? Thanks for sharing

Nice skull

Do you leave it in the pressure tank for the 3 days? What happens if you wait 5 days, does it hurt the mold?

Just found out you had a KZread. 100 in a month is awesome! Definitely some serious potential. Have you thought about expanding to other object than just skulls? Also new one with the bora bora blue looks sick

I have been thinking about doing a few different things just haven’t landed on one I think is cool and will sell

Spray the inside of the mold with alcohol right before you pour it helps release those pesky low down bubbles.

I am confused what and when you use the rubbing alcohol to pop the bubbles. Thank you

Where do you order SealFix?

how about one with dried flowers >.>?

Can you make bullet skull mold without a pressure machine Or would that be to much resin being poured at once Thanks love your videos

@byromscustomwoodworks

Yeah you can. The pressure pot is only needed to reduce and remove bubbles

Just use a vacuum pot, quickly on the resin, before pouring it into mold, then pour slowly into mold, and put in pressure pot. should eliminate any bubbles.

If it was just resin in the mold that would work great

what are pressure pots and what are they for/ Is it to help set the Resin up faster?

@byromscustomwoodworks

They collapse the bubbles in the resin so it comes out clear

I’ve heard 24 hours is sufficient in the pressure pot. Have you compared different time-lengths in the pot to see if there is any impact on the product?

It’s still in a gel state at 24 hours so it’s safer to leave them in for a minimum of 48 hours.

Do you buy your spent shells, or do friends save them? I am looking for some place to get some. Thank you

Alcohol spritz should help. Also torch and proper Mixing time. It also depends on your choice of resin. I have this exact same mould, from let's resin...the skull is awesome...I get bubbles in the back of the skulls head...
