Finally convinced myself to get a vacuum pump (infosec.pub)

This die came out so perfect but the resin held onto to much air so it pulled a void in the pressure pot. I’ve had a vacuum chamber for a while but have put off getting a pump to actually use it. This die convinced me to pull the trigger and I grabbed one from harbor freight. Going to use it on the silicone for the full mold of this set and then the resin for the pours. I’m excited to start making more dice from these masters.

I think harbor freight had the pump, not the chamber, no?

Correct, but I've bought metal paint pots there and used them as an opaque vacuum chamber many times.
