Re: [ATM] The results of the glass casting run.



Before trying a full vacuum kiln, I'd try just a piston pump
setup to get most of the air out of the chamber.  I've found with
investment casting molding that just the level of vacuum from a
injector type vacuum source (shop air in, vacuum out one port and
shop air+ out the other port plus a bit of noise) is enough to
pull bubbles from the plaster in short order.  That level of
vacuum also does an excellent job with resin to get the air out.

Replace the obvious words with the proper character.
