I bought some stuff today..

Yeah, I was going to get the vacuum pump too, but the guy at the store couldn't tell me if the pump pulled 29 HG.. it was 10 Pascal / 25 micron pump. As for the brush on stuff, you don't really need to degass that do you? The stuff I want to try is large for now.. the small stuff that will fit in the pressure pot should be fine though.. Also, some of the stuff I plan on doing will need to be hollow cast.. which brings me to my next question.. You need a rotocaster for that right? Or, can you sort of get away with out one?

Where do you get some reasonably priced vacuum pumps though? the vacuum chambers are pretty up there too.
