Pressure Pot conversion for Resin -Budget- -Bike Pump-

[@jeremycatches9766]

I poured a bit of 2 part plat silicone in the bottom of mine. it made a nice self leveled flat bottom and you can clean spilled resin off of it easily.

Great tip!

[@jerrykearns6344]

I'm in the USA. Thanks for this video. Brass Male 3/8 BSP x 1/4 Female BSP (for the oem Vevor check valve) purchased on the bay from a seller in China. 1/4 BSP male to 1/4 NPT male purchased on the bay from a UK seller. This allowed me to use new 1/4 NPT parts for everything else. La-Co - 49050 LA-CO Anaerobic Industrial Pipe Thread Sealant (from a reputable company in Chicago). Was able to remove all the original fittings pretty easily after heating with an electric heat gun.

[@michalkrejcarek6982]

Hi super video pretty helpful. I have an idea for everyone. How to easily unscrew, everything you need to unscrew from the pressure pot lid. Just use the MICROFLAME burner. It makes the sealing glue softer and everything comes off easily. Ps. be careful and don't burn yourself.

[@madnesshero4675]

They make a yellow tape for sealing gas connections here in the US. Its similar to the regular Teflon tape.

[@ericness9660]

I have the same pot and couldn't get the pipe off with a pipe wrench. It was just too smooth to get a decent grip. I used some vice grips to clamp onto the pipe and then twisted it off. It was very well connected. I wanted to keep the option to convert it back to a paint pot one day, but for all the people who don't care about that just cut it off with a hacksaw.

[@oitoitoi1]

Same!

[@lenakoukatsikas1342]

To connect the bike pump to the pressure pot, would you say there are various sizes, googling it has appeared trickier than one would expect to get a straight answer so thought to ask here. thanks

[@rainonyourback4821]

Hey pal seconding a comment made below can you list the parts you bought?

[@jggraphx]

holyshit the exact video I was looking for! nice Pressure Pot conversion 👍

[@5CallMeEvy]

hey there, do you have a video of how you put all the pieces together to adjust this pressure pot?

[@ПушихвостыйПушихвост]

Thank you so much!

[@chemistrybro_]

What size joint is on the pressure gauge to properly fit in the inlet side? Looking to make the same thing for some resin casting :) Did the pressure guage that came with it not work for the way you wanted?

[@marksy5560]

As this guide is a bit old I can't remember now. The one that came with was rubbish and leaked. You'll have to order your own and measure it unfortunately.

[@chemistrybro_]

@@marksy5560 yea thats fair haha! I looked through your old comments and saw you said to someone else with the same question that it was 1/4" - Good to know the one it comes with is crap! already ordered the chamber, getting the extra bits now! thanks for your video showing its possible :D

[@BigPappaP]

So my pressure pot removed the bubbles perfect, However whenever I use my pressure bot the top surface quality isn’t as good. I seem to get some weird waxy top surface on anything exposed yto air does anyone know why this would be ?

[@marksy5560]

Never had that issue sorry.

[@huseinokugic6339]

How long does it take to pump from o to 50 psi with this pump?

[@CptNemo-l3s]

Just realised there's no release valve/outlet...? Even though there's the ball valve, the schrader valve is in the way and there's no release mechanism on that. When it's done curing, how do you release the pressure? Through the pressure relief valve?

[@marksy5560]

Depress the valve or pull the safety.

[@CptNemo-l3s]

@@marksy5560 Alright, I'll probably put in a release valve. Cheers!

[@Super_Ninety]

How do you depressurized the pot when you are done?

[@marksy5560]

Pull the pin on the safety valve

[@darrenfood]

Regarding the Loctite, I take it you just put it on all the threads before you screw them in right? about to buy all this stuff, just want to be sure on the sealant. Not convinced by the teflon tape I see a lot of Americans using in their videos. Thanks for the video, incredibly helpful.

[@marksy5560]

Yes, as you stated just put some on the threads. Be careful it permenantly fixes it down. I would do a draft build with Teflon tape first as its cheap. This will help find any big holes without anything being permenant.

[@darrenfood]

@@marksy5560 great thanks, can't find any of those BSP 1/4 valves anywhere, so going to put a BSP to NPT converter between the switch and a NPT schrader valve

cheers mate i was going to buy a compressor but at over £100 for one is a big difference to £20 for pump and valve so i'll do this, what are you using the resin for and show us your finished products, im trying a bit of woodturning with it

[@marksy5560]

Hi! I make dice for RPG games, so I doubt my homemade craft is useful to show you. However I can confirm it still holds pressure at 50 PSI. Tested last weekend.

[@ep91monster]

Hello mate, what size pressure pot is that? Might have missed you mention it, probably did because im half deaf 🤣. Cheers bud

[@WazMan1234]

Hey there! I dont suppose you know what the size of the thread is for the pressure gauge you got is? is it 3/8 or 1/4?

[@marksy5560]

It's all 1/4"

[@AliceKnast]

@@marksy5560 Are you referring to the gauges of the pot itself? Are all gauges on the pot 1/4 you mean? Just want to make sure I buy the correct adaptors.

[@marksy5560]

@@AliceKnast the gauges? I brought a 1/4" pressure gauge. One hole on the pot is 1/4" this is what I mounted my inlet to. The other hole is 3/8". I brought an adapter to mount the 1/4" safety valve to that.

[@oSorafied]

How do you release the pressure after casting?

[@marksy5560]

Just depress the shrader valve or lift the safety valve.

Why? This works and saves me £100 and having to store another thing in my house. I think you missed the entire point of the video 😂

[@CptNemo-l3s]

@@marksy5560 They're pretty expensive but I found one for £71.99, like alot of people I just don't have the cash to splash even at that price. I might try a rechargeable tyre/bike pump for £30...should do the job just fine. Thanks for this, always wondered why the hell I needed a big arse air compressor for a small pot😉

I want to do this so I don't have a loud compressor in my apartment, very helpful!
