Could somebody explain this step-by-step? What happens when he places the filled mold into that unit? Does it create a vacuum?
i'm guessing, but hot vinyl is poured into the molds, it's then put into that water troft to cool it off a bit and then yes, put into that vacuum to settle the vinyl into the mold and take out air bubbles. then piece is pulled out of the mold.
It is a shame that such a process falls to the way side for machines when clearly, only wise hands can make it work. Sad also that this process is dying, i wonder how difficult it would be to start in the states.
