I will take some photos tomorrow if I remember. The lid were shaped with router and then the hole were drilled. I use degassing chamber as catch pot, because it allows more resin to be suck out if need. Also the same chamber works for degassing job. One reason is also that I can use two different vacuum Gauge. Basic one and digital micron meter. I would never work anymore with just Glycerin filled vacuum Gauge. The micron meter is life changing product. My personal guess is that the hole has something to do with the happening. as 25mm thick acryl is quite strong. its either the polyester resin, or the drilling of the hole. or maybe both helps each other. Largest pieces of the lid were 1 meter away from the lid. Only smaller pieces were inside the lid. Also the resin were already cured before this happened, as the acrylic pieces were not glued in the resin, they were over the dry resin inside the chamber. I will check the pieces more carefully tomorrow.
