Hi,
What equipment do I need to make resin copies?
Some talk about forming the copy in a vacuum. What's ll that about & where can I get one?
Anything else I need to know, etc, etc...?
Thanks.

Joe.

As far as I know, you don't always need a vacuum. The type of vacuum is a molding pressure pot. These start around $250 and up to +$1000. Here are a couple of starter sets that don't require a pressure pot.

Thanks for the links, Matt.
I've had a good look at those & will get onto it soon.
I've also checked out a couple of pressure pots.
You mentioned that one wouldn't always need to use a pressure pot so when would I need one & when wouldn't I need one?
Does anybody else have a pressure pot & can anybody recommend a good one?

Joe.
