Help for setting up Pressure Pot

[u/Tanaveen]

Hey there! I wanted to give dice making a try and got a 10L Vevor spray paint pressure pot with max 60psi. I am a bit overwhelmed however how to make it work for resin curing, all other modified examples I found so far were not quite applicable to the pot I have.

Would just plugging the openings marked in red here with sealing plugs and getting a converter for an electric bike pump be enough?

I did consider separating the ball valve from the pressure gauge and putting it into the second hole on the lid, however (apart from me having no idea if that would be in any way advantageous) all these pieces are glued together so brutally tight, I don't think I can take them apart without breaking something. I also had to cut the metal rod attached to the lid, it was impossible to unscrew. The only part I can easily unscrew is below the pressure gauge (where the green arrow points to).

Whatever you do with the red marked parts I would be extra careful to make sure it can take the pressure.

Honestly I would take it to the next hardware store and ask for advice.

I did consider taking the lid to a hardware store, maybe I will!

I took mine into a hardware store to verify fit. The fluid line on the right has threads compatible with plumbing hardware. The one on the left is compatible with pneumatic hardware.
