A Pressure Pot Made for Resin Casting - No Conversion Needed!

Today we look at a Pressure Pot made for resin casting and no conversion is needed. California Air Tools came up with a nice solution for converting paint pots into pressure pots for resin casting. I purchased this pot because I needed another one, and I thought it would be nice to just be able to install an air fitting and start casting. I show un boxing, installing the wheels, air regulator, and air fitting and I was filling it with air. It was that easy. I show how to adjust the air regulator and pop off safety valve. Super Easy!

We have had this pressure pot for a few months and love it so much we are thinking of getting a second one. Since getting this one we have wondered how we managed with the HF version as long as we did. This one holds it's pressure for at least 24 hours, and is so much easier to get closed properly. In a small shop, the quick air release is much preferred, the noise is easier to tolerate for 2 seconds vs a couple minutes.

A great informative video. You answered my question. I have 8 gallon CA Tools air compressor I just bought. So, I think you are indicating it should wok with the 5 gallon pot. But, it may not be big enough to charge up a 10 gallon pressure pot timely enough to avoid curing issues by the time it pressurizes and the pot gets to the right pressure. Did I understand tha correctly? Also is a 5 gallon pressure post large enough for most casting projects like pen turning blabks, medium vases, etc. (possible future interest)? Not a good enough turner for that yet, but may pursue in future years. Please keep up the good work brother.

@JakeThompson Ай бұрын

Thank you Rob.. the 8 gallon tank will work with the 10 gallon pot but it does take longer to fill up, so as long as you aren’t pushing the time too bad.. it will be fine.

Hi Jake, my pressure pot does something a little weird. It goes up to about 40, then leaks a bit around the lid gasket, then settles down and seals at 35 psi. It's an intermittent thing and I've tried a few tricks to solve it but it's not altogether predictable. I did find a little irregularity in the gasket flange which I ground back flat and it was OK for a bit then. I can't use liquid PTFE though as the gasket just gets slippery and then I'm chasing two inches of slack round and round. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I know this is really late since it's been a month and you've already figured it out and youtube has no really useful way of informing you about replies, but your air compressor tank should be larger than the pressure pot tank, so greater than 5 gallons.

is the interior of the pot completely flat at the bottom since it is made for casting resin?

@JakeThompson 3 жыл бұрын

Yes.. it comes flat at the bottom.. it’s pretty nice.

Another useful video. Keep them coming man. Ive got a question and its not about press pots. I'm about to turn a 10×4 african mahogany. My lathe dont vibrate on 750 but it does on 900. My concern is when I turn it on 750 will it be to slow and take chunks out instead of cutting?

@JakeThompson 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Greg.. so does your lathe vibrate because the material isn’t round yet, or is there something wrong with your lathe.

@gregskarzynski7853 3 жыл бұрын

I cut off the edges and its pretty much round already. Nothing serious to make it wobbly.

@@gregskarzynski7853 I just cut at a low rpm and the more balanced it gets.. the faster I spin it.. if it vibrates I either slow it down a tad, or sometimes speeding it up will get the vibration out.

Wear ear protection. The weakest part of the pressure pot is the gasket. That's why the safety value is rated at 55. When that gasket fails you get a o so sweet sound.

Sorry Brother, but as a Canadian I love it when an American has to have a metric set of tools to put something together. 😄

Yeah, makes it a lot easier for us mathematically challenged peeps out there... But when it comes to woodworking I still default to inches n' feet.

Most Americans have metric tools. Especially if they work on Japanese vehicles and bicycles. Americans that are machinist, engineers, 3D printers and high-end woodworkers, also use metric tools. It's literally not that rare in America to use the metric system. My Acura and BMWs all require metric tools.
