Just fyi I looked and no one mentioned, those bike tire valve is called a shreader valve, thanks for this video I'll send it when people cry that you have to have a super heavy duty steel pressure pot

I viewed your pressure pot video about a week ago with rising hope that this could be a low cost solution to solve the bubbles-in-resin problem. So... off I went to procure said parts. I had a lot of difficulty finding the 3.5 gallon bucket and lid so I returned to my home and did the Amazon search and purchase thing. My items arrived in a couple of days and I went to serious work. The next day when the pipe glue was cured, I prepped me a small test batch of A & B resin, placed it in the home made pressure pot, and had me a Heineken to celebrate my accomplishment. Forty-eight hours later came the Grand De-molding.

I. Could. Not. Believe. My. Eyes. I put on my prescription glasses to verify. I then got my high powered magnifying glass to confirm. Not one bubble!

Please note that I mixed my A & B resin slowly as usual, let it rest for approximately 10 minutes before putting it into my pressure pot. After sealing the bucket with the lid, I pumped in 10 PSI with my bicycle pump. I checked the pressure 3 or 4 times before I finally left it alone. The pressure held. 48 hours later I had the clearest bubble free resin I had ever poured.

Thank you much for this DIY tip. Cheers!

Attempted this with a clear 3 gallon bucket from Home Depot and one of their orange leak proof lids. System started to fail at about 3psi, had massive doming on the top and bottom. Data point that may help others. Use better buckets!

Thank you so much! I've been looking for buckets to create this myself, and I came across "fermentation vessels" or buckets people use for brewing beer. These are made to hold some pressure (I think most go up to 30 psi) and therefore perfect for the DIY pressure pot!

I did this same thing with an old aluminum pressure cooker . The tire valve stem is awesome . Nice work 👍

You sir gained a sub. I am going to do this over the weekend. Saves me from deciding on and buying an expensive one and I already have everything needed. Awesome, thanks.

You can add a second tire valve to check pressure with a regular tire pressure gauge as you pump it up.

Thank you sir. i never thought vacuuming resin can do by blowing air pressure (not sucking). this is video help me a lot. (subscribed)

I’ve been searching for an affordable way to make a pressure pot. This is absolutely perfect. I’m a 50 year old female and totally 100% understand exactly how to make and use the pressure pot. Thank you for sharing and explaining you terrific idea!!

[TrebenWhahahaha]

thank you. you just saved me a lot of money for a hobby I just got into a week ago.

[klobber]

Great video. I'm trying to make some resin dice just for fun and didn't want to spend 150$ on a pressure pot, definitely making a trip to home Depot tomorrow.

Hi :) I have just finished watching your video - i'm starting to make some experiments with epoxy and buying a pressure pot right now isn't my main focus so I decided to watch all DIY pressure pot videos on youtube and I have to admit - yours was the best of them all. BTW you don't seem frustrated at all but a good, honest, decent person and humble. GREAT VIDEO - THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING EVERYTHING IN AN EASY WAY :)

[LisaSherman-pb]

I love this! To add to that, your voice over video really made it worth watching. Thank you.

[chrissmith]

Dude..i think you just saved me a ton of time and money

[brendaculver]

I watched a man do it with a hand pump and because my hands aren’t well shoot I’m going to be 60 this year so they’re not as great as they used to be but I like that pump you can just push it down. And you’re doing a very good job narrating.

[melissascloset]

I’m so glad I found this! I just do small things like dominoes and such but I didn’t want to use a big pressure pot because my craft room is my upstairs bonus room in my house. This is a great idea thank you!! Now I just need to find the parts

[KitchenMycology]

The commentary is the best part of the video! 😂
"I don't know what I'm saying there..."
Thanks!

[ProfessorJayTee]

Looks good. Just for safety I think I'll add some clamps to the edges before I pump it up, but the basic idea is wonderful. I'm in Japan, and buying anything like a pressure pot over here is insanely expensive. Thanks!

[edroux]

So glad I found this before I shelled out for the Harbor Freight pot. Thanks!
