> When mixing resin, bubbles is inevitable

This is the part I don't understand - if one mixes two degassed liquids in a vacuum, where would these bubbles come from?

from the act of mixing the mekp to the resin. I find electric motor mixer has less bubbles than manual mixing.

2 to 5 mins if the vac is high, or if low as andrew says minimum 10 mins.

Infusion Q&A
Thanks Andrew,

I will read it first then go back to you. You failed to mention where you disagree with me. I may have been too general. Funny but as I read your post, I find that yours is very very close to what I am doing and I have not seen things contrary.

I always try to learn new tricks. I hope I find the forum informative.

Regards,

Rene
