Normally GlassCast does not need to be degassed or put in a pressure pot as the resin has a lot of self degassing properties so we would recommend letting it self degas first before considering using a chamber or pressure pot.

However if you are still struggling with bubbles you certainly can degas or use a pressure pot. In our experience there is no limit or ideal level of pressure you should use and once under pressure, it should remain so until the resin has cured - the pressure pot works by crushing the bubbles into invisible size, so the pressure needs to be maintained.
