Could i make up a cup of the clear resin, then brush it ontop of something else to protect the paint job? like another piece of urethane?

Took your advice about putting my tin cured molds into the oven and just ruined about 200+ dollars worth of molds. They softened, bubbled, feel like you could put your finger through them, and are completely discolored now. Totally distraught..

Would it be worthwhile to put the poured mould into a vacuum chamber to remove all of the bubbles?

Great video!
How was the largest piece (hollow skull?) made in the beginning of the video? Slush cast?

Is there any way to get a link for a similar vacuum chamber. very cool vid. thanks
Heating a silicone rubber mold to 140 to 160 F for 2 to 3 hours should not damage it. For casting urethane clears it is best to begin with a platinum cured silicone type rubber mold where there is no need to dry the mold with heat. Heating a mold helps drive off moisture which causes surface bubbles.

You could put the entire mold filled with casting resin in the vacumm chamber for a while, but you should not let it cure under vacumm. Vacumm makes bubbles larger,
so let off the vacumm after a few minutes before the resin begins curing.
