Using an old pressure cooker for a vacuum degassing chamber helped keep the bubbles to a minimum. I might try running pressure on a set to see what works best.

Getting a good fit
After a full day making aluminium tinsel on the milling machine I now have a full set of female molds that make a good job of casting the elastomers. Surprisingly quick if you have access to a 1.25" drill and a micrometer boring head. Actually took longer to halve the stock and square it with the facemill.
