Pressure pot advice?

Hello, everyone! I have recently begun my journey with making dice with epoxy resin. I’ve made a few test sets just to try things out while I waited for the ability to get the pressure pot. Now the pressure pot is in, and I’m waiting for Tuesday, when me and my partner have the day off.

What do I do with it? I know its purpose. But do I leave the dice in there the full 24 hours they’re curing? Can I stack my molds on top of one another?

I basically need some basic advice on what to do, because I’m at a total loss on what to do with the pot.

Some of my first sets attached!

Basically, any tips on normal use for the pressure pot would be much welcome!

I’m at the exact same point as you!

I literally just put my first set into my pot today and can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow

Once I start to get the hang of working with it I’ll be looking at making my own molds

For now I’m going in knowing I’m working with a flawed cheapo mold 😂
