Hi, How can I avoid bubbles in the castings when using Xencast (currently general purpose)? The mould is dry but there are always bubbles present, often on the surface ruining the castings.
Many Thanks

It depends on the cause.  Humidity can cause the P2 to have bubbles in as can low temperatures.  Be sure to have thoroughly mixed the sediment into the mixture before using the resin and also giving it a good mix.  All can help prevent issues with the resin.

Warren, 

Thank you, what is considered low temperature and what would be the ideal temperature?

Is there another fairly ridged resin that would give a better finish/ consistency and a opaque pigmented finish?

The pigment and sediment (saturated in the bottom of "A") is mixed thorough before adding "B". The mixing action however also introduce some bubbles?

Which methods can be employed to eliminate the bubbles?
