Larry or Mike- I know I'm not the only person on here who has encountered this issue, and I'm probably not the first to ask about it (so forgive me for not researching if you have answered this before). My question is this: How do I keep bubbles from forming in my hot Alumisol? Lately, I've been trying not to "whip" the product when I add dye or microballoons, but I still seem to get bubbles. When I look at the professionally poured plastics, they are bubble free. Do you degas the Alumisol while it's hot and molten, or is there another technique that I'm missing? Or is it I'm just whipping the product too much? I have noticed that when I set my microwave on "low" and heat it up, it the process seems much smoother requiring less stirring. I'm thinking the less you can stir it (while still completely incorporating your additives) the better. I covet your expertise and years of experience. Thanks in advance for your reply/ies.
