How to reduce air bubbles while snakeskin casting

[seamus7227]

This is another quick video I shot that explains how I reduce the amount of air bubbles that are typically trapped under the pen tube while in the silicone mold. This application could be used for anything being cast I suppose, but it works great for my snakeskin blanks! All comments appreciated!

Do you soak the skins in CA before the PR?

no, but I have in the past and didnt like the results, mainly because you can actually trap air when applying it to the skins.

Thank you for that tip. I have done a dozen or so with only about half of them working out. This should increase my odds.
