WOW that is really nice. I think if you had a small autoclave that remedy the air bubbles. Can you put a ruler next to it for size?

Modelman, Those tires are looking good, I use a vacuum pump from Harbor Frieght and a garage sale pressure cooker as a vacuum chamber for moisture removal from Powder Coating powder, my thought is that would remove the air bubbles from the rubber. So far I haven't seen any problem with this lash-up. Fred

I have watched a few of vids on you tube and they all use vacuum for best results. Cheap way is to pour from a high height, 3 or 4 feet, that elongates the material and removes someof the bubbles. You have to have no air movement for this. I will try to track down vid I saw on this.

Awesome results for first attempt!!
