The best thing about this tutorial is your explanation as to “why” each part was used.

You could sub that cap for an adapter for the threads on the pressure valve which would eliminate the need for replacing the 3-Way with a 4-Way. Would make the build a lot more simple for those looking to do the same. Great DIY.

1 tip I would recommend that worked really well for me. Take a sharpie and mark a line on your top and bottom when you find a good seal. Some times the lid doesnt seal if it's not in the right position.

I really love your videos. I watched several videos on how to convert this paint pot, but not one showed how to operate and test it. Really great. I only wish I could like the video more than once.

This video saved my life, I have the same pressure chamber for 10 years now, but the gauge connector is escaping air for a while, I live in Brazil and I didnt want to order a new one, so thanks to your vídeo I'm gonna be able to hunt down the new connectors and customize the gauge and air valve just like you did. A million times THANK YOU! Keep Rockin'!

Oh wow your videos have inspired me to try working with resin. I just discovered your channel. I can't wait to see the follow me eyes video 👀

I have watched soooo many videos on how to convert one of these but no one has ever listed the parts so thank you so so much!

dam ,this brings back memories for me ,and my casting of custom dental appliances ,plates , and fangs.Using best the late 80,s had ,i learned from a dentist.The pot was a MUST for any acrylic works that had to look & perform flawlessly ,& without pain, discomfort .Thanks for a great post !

A world of difference with the pressure pot.

as a slight tip. when you release the pressure. you're venting the air/gas that was in the pot. So if that resin gave off gases... could be toxic. good idea to do that in a well vented area.

Good to know harbor freight sells these! I like cheap supplies :)

You have some of the best ideas!

I watched the eyes tutorial first but didn’t get WHY you used the pressure pot- now it makes perfect sense! I’m excited to see what all you can use that for!

Built one of these for my daughter to make gaming dice. Took a slightly different approach. Since it is an inlet pressure regulator and I had read several tutorials that noted the tendency to bleed down with these pots, I left the regulator on. That way she is able to set the pressure she wants and leave her compressor hooked up so that the pressure remains consistent within a few pounds; the compressor tank brings it back up when it bleeds (which it does not do any longer). The welding around the fittings is notoriously bad and at higher pressures frequently the location of leaks. I filled in around any thru holes with thickened epoxy and then pressurize the pot to about 15 lbs for 10 minutes to force the epoxy into any small leaks. I did not trust the over-pressure relief valve that was on the pot so I replaced it for another $15. I also discovered that the inlet regulator does not like to allow air to bleed back until it is below 20 lbs. So if you keep that regulator you should mount an exhaust valve as well. I actually used a T fitting in the "paint outlet" fitting and mounted both the exhaust valve and over-pressure valve on that fitting. Last is thoroughly clean that seal and in some cases wipe it down with a little vaseline to get a 100% seal. Another commenter mentioned to mark the location of the lid when you have a good seal so that you can get the exact same location every time; good plan. So nearly 100 sets of dice, several custom mold sets, shaker castings and small charms later "Dreamy Dice", my daughters craft business, has used this pot about 50 times and it is functioning perfectly. And as noted in the video at a huge cost savings.

Thanks for this tutorial the sticker on the pressure pot was a great touch!

Very cool! I should build one for all my resin cast monsters.

Quick tip- If you preasure pot your molds when they are setting it will get rid of the bumps on your casted pieces. I hope this helps you or anyone else out! Great vid!!

You made that very easy to understand. Thanks, Eduardo! Can't wait for the eye video.

This looks easier than I expected. Thanks for the info.

Good tutorial. I appreciate the explanation for what you're doing as you go.

Really neat stuff, thanks Eduardo!

Wonderful DIY! Love your channel!

Great simple explanation and thanks for listing the parts I need to get. Thankyou

Buenisimo, amigo! I really enjoyed the simple step by step method you used in this tutorial. Good job, brother.

This was very helpful! Thanks for sharing this.

Outstanding job man! Great explanation and tutorial! Subbed.

You are the King of Halloween! Your videos are second to none!

Love the rings, I have a few of them myself

Hey, thank you for the step by step, appreciated.

Love it. U have a great simple unavoidable presence and great presentation that drew me to the subscribe button. V nicely done 👍👍

Wow , nice video. Greetings from Mexico !!!

Great tutorial!

If you used the regulator, you could set it to the pressure you want and it would just fill to that level. The one my pot from harbor freight came with leaked air, replaced it with a new one. Now addressing other leaks.

This is a great idea thank you!

Great information now I understand need for pressure pot

Love your work

thats great awesome idea HFL!!

That was awesome !!! I love ❤️ your style of educational vids! I seriously cannot wait till , u do the 👀 Good Luck !! Oh! Now I’ve got that song ,... stuck in my head ! 🎼 “JEEPERS Creepers,...where u get those 👁 👁.

Awesome Tutorial, Thank You for Sharing I'm Going to Start Making My Own 1/24-1/25th Scale Model parts. Have a Blessed Wknd Sir.

Awesome idea ☺️

Another great video. I like the way you streamlined the lid. The elbow (I believe was labeled “paint outlet”) could be removed and sealed with a plug for an even “cleaner look” ( plus one less fitting to leak😝). You have evolved quite a bit from when you first started. Hats off to you for being so creative.

Wow fantastic results 🎃💀👻

SCORE!!!!! How smart. What a great outcome. So impressed. Nice work ET. ~OGPROPMOB

L👀king forward to the 👀 tutorial

Awesome!!

Amazing

Hhmmmm, just loves me some Alumilite....

Great Info!!! Thank You!!!! 👍😎🎃💀

This is what I use :) I make adult toys out of silicone and let both the molds and the silicone toys cure at pressure.

where did you get that scale? It is perfect!

FYI Safety: At 4:00, you are putting a NPT cap which has tapered threads, onto straight threads. That elbow has NPT going to the cover, but a compression fitting going out. I suggest you buy a NPT plug and ditch that elbow altogether. When you put tapered threads onto straight ones, you are not getting equal pressure across all of the threads. A good chance it'll never fail. But if it does, it'll be that cap shooting off.

Genial👌

could you use a vacuum chamber to get the same no bubbles results?

I love you channel, so you get subbie,

great video! what type of compressor are you using?

I make the same pressure curing pot at work to cure epoxy in a metallurgical lab. Just don't put more than the rated pressure, 125psi can bend the lid off it.

Love this video but the paint pot you linked doesn't have removable parts - been trying to get both the fluid tube and quick release unscrewed for an hour and a half now but they're glued in and at this point I'm just shearing off metal trying anymore. Tried rubbing alcohol to loosen the glue but no results. Any ideas?

What does he use specifically to convert it?!

How's this working a few years later?

what air tank do you use with this?

would this conversion also work with other brands of tanks? specifically the VEVOR brand on amazon (im in canada and cant buy from harbor freight)

I used the same paint sprayer to make my pressure pot, my only concern is when adding air it starts popping and pinging at about 30-35 psi. Is this normal?

I’m curious, I am finding that the pressure gauge and the metal pipe inside don’t want to come loose or apart. Were these loose for you or how did you remove them? Thank you!

Hey your website isn't working... love.your videos!

Hey, my pressure pot keeps leaking from the lid. Any tips to keep the air in the pot? I know that the lid is leaking from the pot lid and not any loose seals

Is it possible to hook up a bike pump to this. There's no way I can afford an air compressor or even have room for one in my small apartment

Pressure ... not Vacuum?

Shouldn't this be a vacuum pot not a pressure pot?

Hi. This is a great video but it also seems like a lot of things are needed to get set up. Would it be possible to use the air from a divers bottle if you don't own an air compressor? Many thanks

"pressurized all night" you started with 40 PSI and your gauge read 25 PSI before you bled the pressure. the teflon tape does nothing. the original seal is horrible too. you need to use pneumatic thread sealer or you're going to get leaks. these pots aren't designed to hold pressure like that for 24+ hours. so we need to do more than add a couple wraps of plumbers tape. the lid leaks and you should use two part silicone to make a proper gasket. hand tight isn't enough either. substitute the wingnut style bolts with hex bolts and use a wrench to tighten the clamps down. leaving this comment to help people get this pressure pot to actually work.

Why do so many of these DIY pressure pot videos start with "Go buy a pressure pot"...We are here so we don't have to go buy one... I'll save your viewers some time, go buy a Walmart pressure canner, hook up a vacuum pump. That's DIY...
