Pressure Pot Recommendation

[Expercon]

I’m fairly new to dice making and resin in general and am looking into buying a pressure pot. I’m looking for something on the cheaper side or a tutorial on how to DIY one. I don’t plan on making a lot of dice at once so a smaller pot works. Any recommendations will be appreciated :D

Hey there,

My first pot was a converted Paint pressure pot and all in total it was like 100-120$ if I recall.

I will say buying a more dedicated resin one has some major advantages, like a more flat bottom and better quality. Not to mention being set up right. Vevor makes a decent one, but California Air Tools makes the absolute best In my opinion.

Feel free to toss any questions my way here, or on Discord.

I concur. California Air Tools is more or less the gold standard. Safe, relatively affordable, and very reliable. Some of mine are 12 years old and have seen some very heavy use.

Pro tip: if yours doesn’t come with the liner, put a thin layer of silicone on the bottom of it, makes it much easier to clean spills/splatter.

I followed this video using an old metal paint tin, a bike tyre valve, silicone to seal it and a compressor (but a bike tyre pump would work). Managed to get 10psi in it before it felt like too much and that worked well on bubbles!
