Bubbles in Prosaide 3D Transfers

Hey rpf folks!I want to know if the air bubbles produced during the fabrication of prosaide transfers is a result of the drying process with use of a dehydrator, or when mixing in pigment? I've read somewhere that cheap dehydrators run too hot which produces the air bubbles. Has anyone rigged a thermostat to said dehydrators? Has anyone used a vacuum chamber for prosaide when mixing pigment? Thanks.Mark.MVAEFX DSC00010.JPGDSC00011.JPGDSC00012.JPGDSC00013.JPGDSC00014.JPGDSC00015.JPG
 
I always got air bubbles when I tried doing some pros-aide transfers. I found a useful technique was to put your pros-aide in a mixing bowl, and mix it until it thickens up from water evaporation. After that you slop it into your mold, cover it with transfer paper and throw it in the freezer.
 
You can also get a cheap little brush or an air compressor and really get the pros aide into those tight spots, or if you are just mixing cab-o-sil to the pros-aide, it may have a lot of clumps in it and I recommend whipping the pros-aide. For best whipped pros-aide, set on the lowest setting and let it mix for the whole day, that's what MEL Products does when making theirs.
 
That sure looks like clumpy unmixed pigment. How long do you let a mix for? As jackfx said, let it mixe for many hours. I do a minimum 6-8 hours and never have a problem
