Just fyi I looked and no one mentioned, those bike tire valve is called a shreader valve, thanks for this video I'll send it when people cry that you have to have a super heavy duty steel pressure pot

[@joshualebo6820]

Attempted this with a clear 3 gallon bucket from Home Depot and one of their orange leak proof lids. System started to fail at about 3psi, had massive doming on the top and bottom. Data point that may help others. Use better buckets!

[@ImeUdombang]

I viewed your pressure pot video about a week ago with rising hope that this could be a low cost solution to solve the bubbles-in-resin problem. So... off I went to procure said parts. I had a lot of difficulty finding the 3.5 gallon bucket and lid so I returned to my home and did the Amazon search and purchase thing. My items arrived in a couple of days and I went to serious work. The next day when the pipe glue was cured, I prepped me a small test batch of A & B resin, placed it in the home made pressure pot, and had me a Heineken to celebrate my accomplishment. Forty-eight hours later came the Grand De-molding. I. Could. Not. Believe. My. Eyes. I put on my prescription glasses to verify. I then got my high powered magnifying glass to confirm. Not one bubble! Please note that I mixed my A & B resin slowly as usual, let it rest for approximately 10 minutes before putting it into my pressure pot. After sealing the bucket with the lid, I pumped in 10 PSI with my bicycle pump. I checked the pressure 3 or 4 times before I finally left it alone. The pressure held. 48 hours later I had the clearest bubble free resin I had ever poured. Thank you sooooo much for this DIY tip. Cheers!

[@jennercustomtoys]

I'm really glad it worked for you.

[@michiganwolfpupper]

any chance you could share the bucket/lid you found? I can't seem to find one with sealed lid.

[@TobiasHoffmannWup]

Please provide a link to the bucked you used :)

[@louispouliot4928]

Did you find a bucket that fits the requirements by now? ​@@michiganwolfpupper

[@woutermakkinje4777]

Thank you so much! I've been looking for buckets to create this myself, and I came across "fermentation vessels" or buckets people use for brewing beer. These are made to hold some pressure (I think most go up to 30 psi) and therefore perfect for the DIY pressure pot!

[@dchall8]

Bakeries, and even grocery store bakeries, receive materials like icing in 3-gallon buckets. If you ask nicely, they might help you out with one. When I lived out in the country our local store did give up one bucket. I got a sense that they recycled them back to their suppliers.

[@melissascloset9041]

I’m so glad I found this! I just do small things like dominoes and such but I didn’t want to use a big pressure pot because my craft room is my upstairs bonus room in my house. This is a great idea thank you!! Now I just need to find the parts

[@marlenemalta7631]

Hi :) I have just finished watching your video - i'm starting to make some experiments with epoxy and buying a pressure pot right now isn't my main focus so I decided to watch all DIY pressure pot videos on youtube and I have to admit - yours was the best of them all. BTW you don't seem frustrated at all but a good, honest, decent person and humble. GREAT VIDEO - THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING EVERYTHING IN AN EASY WAY :)

[@WillyK51]

Get a Used/Old/New aluminum pressure cooking pot(Small or big) Check out Dental Laboratory pressure pots to get the idea. Car/bicicle valve, and a pressure gauge, in the 2 holes on the lid. Thats it up to 25 psi.If you get a heavy duty or stainless pot, can raise the pressure. Been using mine for 35 Yrs.

[@brendaculver6540]

I watched a man do it with a hand pump and because my hands aren’t well shoot I’m going to be 60 this year so they’re not as great as they used to be but I like that pump you can just push it down. And you’re doing a very good job narrating.

[@jennercustomtoys]

Thank you!

[@wendyfoster8680]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering if something like this would work. I'll certainly have to give it a try. And if it doesn't work for me.. it's only 10 bucks. I've thrown that away in bubbly resin many times over, and I'm still new to the craft! I'll certainly be checking out your molding compound videos next.

[@joek600]

This is very cool! I have already a diy pressure chamber and a diy silent airbrush compressor. I wanted a pressure pot but the usual way to make a diy one is to convert a cooking pressure pot. An other option is to buy one of those cheap chinese paint pots. But the idea of a pressurized metal bucket was making me nervous. A light plastic container though is brilliant. If you add a safety valve and a pressure gauge with a release switch, a usual refrigerator motor needs about 15 sec to provide 30 psi pressure. And even if some freak accident happen the plastic container wont kill you.

[@jvin248]

You can add a second tire valve to check pressure with a regular tire pressure gauge as you pump it up.

[@kathysceltic]

Thank you for the video ! It will save me a bunch .

[@ProfessorJayTee]

Looks good. Just for safety I think I'll add some clamps to the edges before I pump it up, but the basic idea is wonderful. I'm in Japan, and buying anything like a pressure pot over here is insanely expensive. Thanks!

[@eleano29]

Wow! Super cool idea. Good stuff! You should definately do a video on that reusable mold compound that you mentioned! I'd be interested in seeing that

[@Boogie_the_cat]

I'm giving this one a try. I'm not going to fail like some other commenters, by making sure that the Home Depot bucket i get is the exact same one. I noticed two people on here claiming exploding buckets, but of course, they went into zero detail regarding their parts and procedures. Likely because they didn't use the right bucket. I don't want to assume things that were unsaid, but listen to my reasoning. If i had for example used the very same parts and bucket, and it exploded, then of course, i would mention in my comment that "even though i followed the directions exactly", it exploded, etc... But these comments didn't mention following directions exactly. Probably because they didn't. Its the logical assumption that makes the least "ass out of u and me" because 99% of folks would have mentioned that they followed the instructions exactly, if that is what they had actually done. I'm not going into a home Depot any time between now and xmas (god forbid) but the bucket is the last piece i need, the fittings are in the post... So I'll post a video on my own channel, and that'll do a better job at providing the validity of this process, compared to having to assume that the two rando commenters did everything correctly, there will be video evidence of whether i did it right or not. The process seems legitimate to me, and i appreciate this video. I'm not a baby, and i can follow directions. Maybe people that can't follow directions shouldn't be whining in the comments section about how they used 1mm thin plastic from chinese dumpsters and hurt their thumby when it exploded.

[@jennercustomtoys]

That's great! Let me know your results. Please watch the follow up video on this though as I made some safety corrections.

[@lemon-dread]

Thank you, this worked great for me. I've kept the psi pretty low (better safe than sorry) but even a little pressure has helped a lot with bubbles.

[@jennercustomtoys]

Yeah. It doesn't take much pressure for the long dry time. I'm glad this helped.

[@colinlegrys9434]

I have yet to start doing anything, but when the car-boot sales season is here I am going to get an aluminum domestic pressure cooker and use that as a base. There are usually several for sale going cheap, because people tend to be wary of them. The existing pressure release will be where I insert the shrader valve.

[@Aangel452]

Thank you so much for sharing your research and amazing product that all us resin Aritists can make and use at home. Thank you 🌼

[@jennercustomtoys]

As I said in the video. You can put a release valve on there if you want. I did not. I just let the air out from the tire stem.

[@Aangel452]

@@jennercustomtoys yes you did thanks as I realised after and removed that part of my comment.

[@RASTEAL]

This video is exactly what I needed to know to DIY a usable pressure pot. And on the first info search try as well so that's a good first foot forward for conservation of some cash money.. Especially after catching myself doing the usual over engineering with inevitable nickle, dime and Jefferson cost increases. Like I don't need one that can safely handle 150psi in a size 20 gallon tank. Unless of course it actually is also a secondary air storage tank for the air compressor... That would justify a larger tank. . . .Doh!!! Man-o-man am I ever mega glad I stumbled onto your video. And I have everything needed already plus options so no parts run to the hardware store (which is really rare). Wow this is turning out to be a good Thanksgiving.

Great job on the bubble remover bucket!! I've been looking for an economical way to do it and thought the only option was building the Harbor freight one. The cost was also prohibitive so I never did it. As usual the simple answers are most often the best option. I use clear 2 part resin but I add mica or inks for color. I'd be interested in your molding recipe as well. I subscribed and will be looking for that video. Thanks for your work on this.

[@shabmaster7128]

Get two of these buckets. Cut an oval in one side, then in the other bucket cut the oval larger. Put a gasket around the larger oval and add a handle. Do the rest the same. Instead of taking the lid off and on, you put the gasketized oval into the smaller oval. Start the pressure, once your pressurized, that oval will hold itself on. Much quicker than messing with the lid everytime.

I’ve been wanting to try resin dice making but the pressure pot was always my sticking point. I don’t know why I always thought they were drawing a vacuum to get the air out. This is brilliant and I’m definitely going to try it.

[@radiantfartcloud2041]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6facoSKnq6dqq8 This youtuber answers your exact confusion, but to put it simply, pressure pots squash the bubbles into invisible sizes. Vacuum chambers draw the air out of the resin, which will ironically create a lot of bubbles in the process, as well as a big mess.

The vacuum chamber is to suck the bubbles out of your mold material
