Actually, the vacuum allows the bubbles to expand enough to
float to the surface and pop.

I did this with hand wound transformers at TRW using Poly
Urethane, and in my shop mostly with casting resins.

The vacuum chambers at TRW were nice, but I found that using
a modified pressure cooker works fine for the size jobs I have.
