@MLE_online are you pressure casting a clear 2-part resin that’s usually for gluing things? I didn’t know that was a thing, what resin is it?

My usual is mixing smooth on bottles, but casting a glue-style resin seems interesting in some situations.

@zackstern I am, yeah. It's Devcon brand. I don't know if the pressure pot will remove all of the bubbles because it's much more bubbly than resin intended for casting, but I figured it couldn't hurt

@MLE_online thanks. Maybe I’ll try similar for fast/dirty casts.

@zackstern Yeah, if you don't need a lot of volume, it works. A friend of mine made faux transistors that actually played music like this.

My goal here is mostly to make the LEDs more durable because those SMD packages are really fragile when they have long legs soldered to them. If they come out looking decent, too, that will be a nice plus.
