Debubblizing

I have read that if the flask is vacuumed too long that bubbles
will be added to the flask rather than removed- something to do
with gases being created due to the oxygen in the water
seperating from the hydrogen. Dan and others, how can I know the
proper length of time

Hi Peter S. Use the investment mfg suggested mixing and vacuum
instructions to start and if you have a problem with bubbles or
other problems , i can help analize it from there.I will need to
know what material your using and your gaige readings. I will
also need to know if your machine will cause a glass of water to
“boil” vigorously at 72 oF and how long it took to get to that
stage.

Hi peter, If you vacume the flask until the investment sets up,
the casting will be awful, bubbles everywhere. I don’t know why,
but I know its true. Just make sure the mixing and vacuming is
completed a couple of minutes before the plaster sets. I’ve alway
timed this when I’ ve relocated to another part of the country.
Everything effects this length of time-water-temp.-humidity. But
once you know what to expect, you can plan accordingly. Have fun. Tom Arnold P.S.

Hi Dan, Thanks for helping me out here. It takes a glass of
water 20 seconds to start fizzing and another 4 seconds to boil
rapidly. I’m using R and R investment and always at 72 F- I’m
lucky, the building I work in is always giving me water at this
temp. in winter or summer.
