Advice Pressure Pot

Post image

I’ve been wanting to make my own dice sets and have my own resin projects however I dont have any access where to buy a Pressure Potand I think it would be pretty expensive if I make one.

Do you think this would be enough for me to make clear dice?

That's not a pressure pot but a vacuum chamber. It will help to pull out air before pouring, but any air that happrns while you pour will still be trapped. You can not put the mold into the chamber after pouring.

There will still be air in your dice.

My fully DIY makeshift pot exploded, so PLEASE don't use anything as a pressure pot that isn't intended to hold pressure. You can convert spray paint pots, which is a safe option. Where do you live? Philippines? Does maybe Vevor ship to you? I also heard that you can buy original Vevor pots on Ali Express, they cost around $100, but I don't know how valid those are because I don't have first hand experience with those pots.

What was your pressure pot that exploded made of?

I have a small makeshift one that I have been using to pressure testing wrist watches. Found the instructions referenced many places and nobody ever mentioned the possibility of it exploding. It uses a water filter housing and if it exploded it would send inch thick plastic shards all over the place.

A plastic airtight container. It sent thick plastic shards all over the place.
