I have a brand new HF pressure pot as well as an older pot of unkonwn origin. The older post has a brand new gasket in it. Both pots will occasionally "blow the gasket" and loose all pressure all of a sudden. It does not seem to matter how much pressure. Just this evening I was casting something at 40 psi and the gasket blew and let all the pressure out. Ruined my casting due to the rapid decompression and formation of bubbles. Of course I did not notice it until it was already set.
Any suggestions? I have removed the gasket and re-seated it in both pots. My resin is not getting too hot so that should not be the problem. I am tightening the hold downs as tight I can can by hand. It only happens every 5 or 6 casts for some reason.
What could I be doing wrong? It is obviously an ID 10 T error since it happens with both pots. Any suggestions?
