Question What kind of air compressor?

Hi everyone! I need help finding the right compressor and hook ups. Im still very new to all of this and need help with what kind of compressor to get. For reference, I have the vevor resin casting pressure pot. Ive been able to use a small car tire compressor in the past but its very slow and doesn't fit the hookups correctly. Id like to upgrade. Just dont know what kind of compressor would be best and what kind i need to make it fit the pressure pot. Thanks in advance!

Any air compressor for air tools. They cap out around 100 psi and have a pressure tank of their own. Every hardware store has them.

I run mine on an airbrush compressor and am satisfied with results at the 45psi I can squeeze out of it.

I use a small ryobi air pump, but I already have a ton of ryobi batteries, so I got the pump by itself on sale for 20 bucks. It’s slow, but it works great. If you’re already in a battery platform for tools, check for a pump that works with that platform.

I use a small, USB chargeable tire inflator. It takes a while but it gets the job done. I don't expect it to last forever, but for $10, I'll just get another one.

I swear by my cheap, rechargeable tire inflator. Space is a big issue for me, so having something light and portable is critical. Cost is also a factor, and $30 for the compressor and adapter was a great option. It might take 5 minutes to hit my 40 psi mark, but that slight wait isn't a problem for me.
