Hello everybody,

I got very helpful answers from you guys last time, so I decided to ask again Wink

In my infusion process I use low viscosity infusion resin. When I try to degas it with my home-made chamber I get many bubbles escaping from my pot and forming a big foam on the surface. This is endless Wink
I use full power of my vacuum pump (nearly -1.0). I've never managed to get clear liquid after degassing.

What should I do to improve it and make it more effective?

Sorry for my english,

Thanks!

Peter/Poland

Here are some tricks that might help:

- heat your A+B before mixing to lower the viscosity, then mix and degass
- Use a mixingcup/pot with a large bottom surface
- Try using a vent between the pump and the chamber, to be able not to pull full vacuum all the time.
  If you pull 80% vacuum in the begining, it will degass without rising, then add more vacuum till perfect
