Yup that is pretty much it. if you are careful and melt from the bottom up you will not trap any air during the encasing. It is one of the easier boro tricks to master. As long as you don't try do something ridiculous like encase a 5 mm rod with 25mm heavy wall size is not really an issue. I usually have 12mm heavy and standard wall in my rack, they usually work fine unless the colored rod is really thick.
