Hi,

I am new to vacuum infusion and just wondering if I need to degas my resin in a degassing chamber prior to the infusion or is letting it just sit for 5-10 at ambient air pressure enough?

Also would it be a good idea to store my resin containers in a "hot box" prior to use?

Thank you,

Erick

???

Degassing Chamber is the way to go. 5-10 mins max and there will not be a single bubble in that resin. Crystal clear. Love it, definitely worth building or buying.

I built mine from an old aluminium pressure cooker, 25 mm Acrylic circular lid, vac gauge, two valves all joined by hydraulic connectors. You could use anything, but these are nice and handy cos they come in any size and type.

I will post a picture soon.
