pressure pot

I was asked to make a bunch of customized pens for police dept, so this once again a donation on my part. I was going to use Alumilite for the first time to create the label in tube blanks. But since this will be a donation, I’m not looking forward to buy a pressure pot, even the pressure...

Hey folks! I bought a pressure pot for resin casting (the California Air Tools 255C). I bought it off eBay to save a few bucks, and of course it leaks. I did the water bubble test and found it’s leaking from the connector that the air intake screws into, between the metal lid itself and the...

I'm having problems with my pressure pot, which the retailer said it max 80 PSI and safety valve was set to 60 PSI, the only place it leaks is in the safety valve, I set it to release at 50 and tried with 30 PSI too, the valve opens normally and release pressure when it hit the max PSI I set...

Well I assembled my first pressure pot and getting ready to walk into new territory with casting it looks like alot of fun also. Testing the pot with my compressor for the first time that gave me a kinda a scary feeling but also very intriguing fun. I have been reading on here and other...

For casting.. I am looking to figure out the very best way to cast acrylic. Do you have to use pressure or can you use vacuum? Next, I am looking for an option to do small amounts. Is there a system someone can recommend that is an all-in-one? I would rather pay a little more for a...

Any suggestions for getting a tight seal on the lid of my HF pressure pot?

I an not sure where this post is supposed to go ,so I will put it here. I have a home made Rose engine machine for sale. I have pretty much retired and haven't made a pen in some time. Anyway, this machine is very quality built and works great. All meteal parts were turned at a machine Co. I...

Don’t you just love this forum? :biggrin: I have been able to find so much information on a variety of topics. I have been doing my own resin blank casting for some time now. All without a pressure pot.:redface: By change I got a pressure pot that was used for painting. Thought I would take it...

Is there a way to get good results in casting and stabilizing without having to have a pressure pot?

I'm looking for Harbor Freight Pressure Pot Conversion info - I've read the one posted in the library but looking for other variations. The easy the better - I would greatly appreciate if someone could provide a link or attachment to any other variations they may know of - many thanks. R/John

Hello all. From most of the threads I have been reading looks like I'll need to get a pressure pot soon enough. What is the most economical (= cheapest) way to get pressure pot? Thanks Manny Champaigne test on beer budget!

I'm not even sure I will ever want to try using a pressure pot when I start casting but I have been curious about my paint tank. I haven't used it since I stopped working for myself 10 years ago. Dug it out tonight so I could post this pic. It says 25-40 normal working pressure, 50 psi maximum...

Greetings all. I've been lurking for the better part of a year and would like to first thank everybody that has so generously contributed to these forums, as they have helped me to produce some fairly passable pens.:smile: I'm interested in casting my own blanks now, and have been reading the...

So Curtis keeps a constant pressure for three days. Dawn can keep a constant pressure for 30 minutes. Same pressure pot. Now, I can tighten the clamps and improve HER performance, but I don't believe I will come CLOSE to Curtis'. So, what's to adjust??? There is no rubber seal that comes...

Recently, Reb contacted me about making a pressure pot for him. I decided to make it even more simple than the two I am using and really like the way it came out. This is for Alumilite and pressure only, no vacuum. The problem is, the darn thing leaks! I pressured it up to 80# on the dot and...
