Hi all,
Firstly my apologies if this is in the wrong place or if it's a stupid question, I've done a search of the forum and couldn't yield any results.
Does anyone know of a good supplier of vacuum chambers and pumps in the UK? I've found a few via simple Google searches but I wanted to ask here in case people had recommendations based on experience.
For some background information, I'm doing some silicone moulding and the silicone has to be completely clear of bubbles. I've tried vibrating the molds with various tools and contraptions I've made but it seems nigh on impossible to have it 100% bubble free. My limited research has lead me to the conclusion that a pressure chamber would effectively degas the mix and allow for completely smooth silicone.
If there is another route or option that I've missed then please let me know as I am new to this.
Cheers!
AJ
