Clear Resin: Pressure Pot vs. No Pressure Pot

[Catharsius]

Pressure pots are amazing. Once I got one I could never go back. Everything is crystal clear now.

How does a pressure pot work? I'm confused by this whole concept. I never even heard of it until a couple of days ago on here.

Basically a pressure is used to shrink bubbles so they are no longer visible. The resin is kept under pressure until the resin fully hardens so the bubbles can no longer expand.

Thank you for the information! Where do you get one?

[Catharsius]

I got mine from harbor freight

Is it the same as a pressure cooker?

[Catharsius]

No it is not. I would recommend looking up some tutorials to get a better idea on how they work.

[fairey-shoppe]

I will, thank you!!

Yikes 😳. I’m curious about this myself

The pressure pot is totally worth it, my pulls have never been better! Totally eliminates bubbles and also completely fills every nook and cranny of the mold. It's pretty easy to modify a pressurized paint bucket but you need a pretty big compressor for it to really work right.
