Spray the inside of the mold with alcohol right before you pour it helps release those pesky low down bubbles.

Great to hear you admitting that the problems with the molds are due to you & not a problem with the mold itself. As for clearing the surface bubbles the best method I've come across is by using a long neck lighter, the flame temp is much lower than the heat gun or the torch & so it takes MUCH, MUCH LONGER to cause any damage to the mold & the other thing is that using IPA will dry the silicone mold out & shorten it's life so that's why I avoid using IPA to burst bubbles.

Just use a vacuum pot, quickly on the resin, before pouring it into mold, then pour slowly into mold, and put in pressure pot. should eliminate any bubbles.

I’ve heard 24 hours is sufficient in the pressure pot. Have you compared different time-lengths in the pot to see if there is any impact on the product?

It’s still in a gel state at 24 hours so it’s safer to leave them in for a minimum of 48 hours.
