    Also try Smooth-on.  They too have a number of mold making
    materials. Some RTV's are much less prone to bubbles than others. 
    Some self "release" bubbles (to a degree).  I really do not know why
    so many in the jewelry (especially) industry are still so hung up on
    vulcanized molds verses RTV's!  Contact any of the bigger suppliers
    and ask what materials they recommend for your project and lack of
    equipment.  You can make bubble free molds without vacuum or
    pressure, but either makes bubble free pieces easier.
