With so many options out there, which pressure pot do you buy for resin casting? In this video, I cover the important things to think about so you can choose …
Tnx buddy for your time
I learned alot
I bought a 15 galon
And it's massive and i'm happy🤗🤗
Worx Pegasus table has clamps. Great if one doesn’t have a surface to bolt one too. I’m wanting to get a compressor I can use both for air brushing and a pressure pot and be affordable. My studio is my basement so I’ll be using the lowest reasonable psi for resin .
The pressure pots that you use. Where can i purchase one
Where to buy. pls give me a link. ty
Too much talk.
Hey bud. What’s your thoughts on ca technologies pressure pot vs tcp pressure pot? The tcp is about half the price and my harbor freight just broke a bolt and threads are jacked. I like the butterfly wings with bracket. I think those will be easier. Thanks for any advice
Great info. Not “regretting” the Harbor Freight purchase but clearly shows what the limitations are going in.Thank You!
I took a 1and 1/4 inch socket cut a slot in it 180 degrees apart to tighten up my wing nuts. With a ratchet
Hey Zac quick question, what do you think about leaving the pressure pot loaded with air under the sun? or during winter in the cold, is that dangerous due the metal dilatation because of the temperature?
Good day ,
Wondering if u use a air drying filter prior to air getting into pressure tank?
Some air can have quite a bit of condensation
Would that cause impurities in the resin ?
Very helpful, thanks!
Do I need a vacuum chamber if I have a pressure pot? are they for two different uses?
trying to get all my turning gear together, this vid will go a long way to helping me to complete that mission, thanx
This is ridiculous, I only discovered wood turning on Youtube 2 days ago, now I’m watching vids on pressure pots and want a lathe for Christmas, my previous experience includes embroidery, knitting, sewing and beading 😂😂😂😂
Habla habla habla y no hace ni mmmm
Thank you so much, It helps a lot!
How to remove the fluidtube underneath the lid? Mine come installed already by factory default and it is so hard to remove it. I dont want to cut it, do you have recommendatiom how to remove it, perhaps by some liquid or something else?
very helpful, thank you
Will a vacuum pot work? I have access to one…
What do you think about the C.A. TECHNOLOGIES RESIN CASTING 2.5 GALLON PRESSURE TANK? It looks like they have already done the pot conversion for resin casting
im newto resin casting & on my 1st cast with no pressure pot it came out soft & plyable is it due to no pressure pot or something else
Hey so I’m new to resin casting try to do some without using a pressure pot and then I went to turn it on the lathe I start getting big chips out of almost like there were air voids in the resin it I was curious if not using the pressure pot and having air bubbles if that’s what you think caused that
Great video! Other than price and maybe taking up a little more space, is there any drawback to getting the 5 gallon if you want to be able to do an occasional larger item? Too many times in the past I bought something thinking it would be perfect only to find out later than I should have upsized. In all likelihood, I will only own one pot (and want to buy a C. A. Tech) so hope to make the right purchase. Thanks.
I was just wondering if you would know what kind of heat gun would be best to use on some resin casting projects? Thank you
A bit of a weird question… I'm setting up to so resin casting using a pressure pot method. How loud does the air pump connected to the pressure pot get? I dont have a garage or a shop, more like a hobby office. So I was wondering how noisy it would get. And if it is substantial are there anyways to muffle the sound?

Been thinking about trying resin products, as I’m huge on dabbling into all kinds of art… It’s awesome to see that someone giving me resin/pressure pot advice lives in my state! Haha!! Definitely gonna take this advice to heart.
Zac, thanks for sharing, what about de pressure regulator which is connected to the pressure gauge, is it any helpful, since you just put pressure and disconnect the hose once it has reached the needed pressure
Can you replace the factory fittings on a pressure pot? I got my 2.5 gallon C.A technology’s pot. And I saw the safety vavle was leaking and I spoke with a C.A technology product specialist and he said they’re meant to be constantly fed air ( the resin casting version) and I was like “ okay that’s fine np” and I set it up I adjust the regulator and it leaks air slowly. I spray soapy water and it is leaking air BUT it was leaking air from the the bottom of it on the nipple. I take out my handy dandy sealant tape and take the safety vavle off and to my surprise is the nipple that’s attached to the lid is stripped?!! ??? is it safe to remove it and add a new nipple with loctite?

I have a question… I am looking to cast longer castings. Is it possible to lay the pot on its side so I can get the depth I need?
Hey thanks for sharing! Quick question if you dont mind, I purchased a Harbor Freight pressure pot as an entry level tank. There is a casting that I would like to do that involves a 1" x 1/2" x 12" piece. The mold will not fit horizontally. I was just curious if you knew if the pressure casting works alright vertically before I waste a bunch of epoxy 🙂 Thanks!
Thank you so much! Greetings from the Netherlands
Zac – assuming you will see this note, do you buy the CA Tech 51-201 (regular paint pot) or the 51-501C (modified for casting pot)? Do you know what the different is between them?
The price difference between the pots is $40-50+ so I just wanted to be sure on which version because it is a noticeable price difference.
Could you send me a link to that pressure pot?
Thanks
Great video. I'm new to resin casting. I want to start playing around with it. What does the pressure pot do exactly? BTW, you look like Ron Perlman.
Would casting an epoxy orb in a 2piece mold, work in a pressure pot or would it still displace the halves even with the split sealed with a sealant (resin, super glue, hot glue)?
Thanks for your honesty! I am looking for a pressure pot and your video was helpful to me. I was recommended CA Technology buy a friend who is a finishing supervisor with a large mill work company and he said “it your best bang for the bucks”. I also try to stick by my thoughts “Cheap things no good, good things no cheap,”
Do anyone know about about a page where I can buy a 15, 20, 25, 30 gallom pressure pot / spray tank? I can't find anything :/
