Chris,
For small parts you can use a small vacuum pump and a
bell jar / paint pot for degassing the resin before
dispensing into the mold and for placing the mold in
for cure.
If you use a paint pot you can also apply pressure
cycles to aid in degassing.
Cheap vaccuum pumps and compressors are usually
available from;
You can also degas in the syringe fairly effectively
by cycling the plunger with the orifice / needle
blocked and unblocked to achieve vacuum and pressure
to separate air bubbles from the liquid before filling
the mold.
Warming the more viscous component (usually the resin
in polyurethanes) will help to reduce the viscosity to
something manageable for syringes.
Here are some links for materials;
