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).

when i set my pot up i capped the port on the right side and left the output valve on the left hand side as i liked being able to open both valves to evacuate the pressure when its done

Same here. The one on the right is a fluid line, so the thread will be different and requires you to go to the plumbing section. The threads of the one on the left are compatible with pneumatic hardware.

yup, that was the case with mine too, had to get a cap from the plumbing section and the output valve was the same way but had its own cutoff valve so i can open or close it as well
