How long should I keep a material under pressure when pressure casting?

We recommend keeping a liquid rubber or plastic under pressure for the duration of its cure or handling strength time. Any bubbles that may have been collapsed by the pressure can possibly reappear if the material is too soft when you release the pressure.

Pro Tip: Look for a pressure chamber that can hold pressure (by closing valves, etc.) without leaving the compressor on.
