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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Awesome video. I'm about to pull the trigger on ordering all this stuff, but I'm having trouble finding the 3/8 to 1/4 brass piece. If you could link it directly I would appreciate it!

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

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

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?

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

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?

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.

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

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?

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 ?

I know this is old now but I can't find the 1/4 bsp to schrader valve, could you provide a link to it please? 👍

How do you release the pressure after casting?

How do you depressurized the pot when you are done?

Is it still functional? :) thinking of trying this in the future

Does it matter what pressure gauge you use

Use a pipe cutter to remove most of the pipe

Buy a compressor !!
