I've been reading for several days on on the procedures for making acrylic or resin pen blanks. One thing seems to be re-occurring over and over: pressure or vacuum?
Although I have a nice set of plans for using a pressure pot from Harbor Freight, I've also seen some really nice vacuum set-ups but haven't been able to find any decent plans for making one of those.
It would seem to me that you would get less mess using a vacuum, but maybe it's A lot cheaper to use a pressure system?
I need your input here as this is the ONLY place I go when I'm stuck.
