Hello,
Rick from Smooth-On, I will be logging in time to time to see if I can help...
The pour method is good to try and eliminate bubbles... we are currently working on a white platinium silicone rubber that does not need to be vacuumed, 1:1 mix ratio and has good physicals called mold star but it isn't yet available... keep an eye out... in the mean time a very good rubber is sorta-clear 18 http://www.smooth-on.com/Platinum-Cure-Sili/c1115_1134/index.html
also we have a good resin used by some lure makers called feather lite http://www.smooth-on.com/index.php?cPath=1162 custom lures: http://www.smooth-on.com/gallery.php?galleryid=135&cPath=1162
Mold Max 30 is a very good choice for making rubber molds and does very well without vacuum and pressure pots... just use the pour method described in this thread...
