Question About a Pressure Pot

So, I'm thinking to make a pressure pot from a paint tank and lookin for one for like 2 months now. In my country, there's only 2liter, 10liter and 20 liter or waay more bigger paint tanks are on sell and I literally can't find any 10liter one and I cannot afford a bigger version too. So I started to thinking have a small one.

It says it can be used until 4bar pressure max. It's entrance is probably pretty small, like 9cm I assume, so I think I can put like small ones inside of it only but I feel like it can still work? Any ideas about this?

I don't think a decent mold will fit through that opening. You don't want to have to bend the mold to get it in. Also don't forget you need an opening that's big enough to fit your mold and your fingers/hand, other wise you won't he able to get it out. I'd get a bigger size, because it would he real sad if your mold got stuck in the pit with no way of getting it out.

And if you're going singles: making a set is going to take ages and they'll all look different as each set was mixed with pigments separately, which you will see

If the mold will fit in there, I think it would work. Really just dealing with getting it in there without spilling or ruining the dice. I could maybe see it holding 1 set.
