The products I've been using from Synair and Castolite have always
produced
bubble free molds since most are self out-gasing. The only trouble I
have
had was using fast curing resin that sometimes just doesn't quite fill
in
all the detail before curing. When I cast in lead, this is not a
problem.
Next technology to pursue: spin casting.
