This is a great pressure pot for resin! I considered converting a paint pressure pot for resin but I wanted something safe and know that I was using a tool created for that purpose. It is so well made and sturdy. It has wheels making it easy to use and store, is big enough to put multiple molds. I use a double tier caddy in it so I can put 4-5 molds in, depending on size. I also bought the California Air Tools compressor and it has worked as a great combination. If you watch the video, that's all you need to learn how to use it. Highly recommend!

I am new to resin casting and was a little put off by modifying a pressure pot. I saved a few more months and was able to get this pot, ready to go out of box, with free shipping. It may have cost me a bit more, but the results were incredible. Opened box, attached casters and was ready to go. First castings (pen blanks) came out perfectly. An awesome addition to the shop. Highly recommend it.

Disclaimer: I bought my California Air Tools pressure pot elsewhere, either before Woodcraft sold them or I wasn't aware they did. 🤦â€

First time casting with the pot, it couldn't hold a pressure of 40psi. Checked the pressure after an hour and had dropped 4psi. Mixed up some water and dish soap and applied around all the factory fittings. Almost all of them had small bubbles forming. Tightened what I could with a spanner. Waiting on some Loctite to see if that makes it better. Note that this is my first pressure pot, so I have no basis of comparison, but I didn't expect it to leak the way it did. Is this normal behavior ? Hopefully the Loctite helps. Disappointed as the pot seemed very solid.

I ordered this in June 2020. It said ship date of July 7th. Fine. When I looked at it 3 days later it stated a ship date of July 28. A few days later it is pushed to August so I finally called customer service. On the phone she told me that there would be none available until at least the middle of November, probably later. They are continuing to sell items under false pretense that they will ship soon. If you want it in the next 6 months I recommend ordering elsewhere.

I bought this today 15-Mar-20 in FT Worth. I brought it home, unpacked it and hooked it up. Nothing really to do other than install the wheels or bolt it to table. I pumped it up with 58 PSI 3 hours ago and it still has 58 PSI. I poured soapy water on every fitting and see no bubbles anywhere. I have been researching these and it was between this one and the CA Technologies one, at least that I could afford. Needless to say the finish is nice, thumping on the can sounds solid, wing nuts are huge. All in all for 249 I think it was a great find. If it starts leaking or having issues, I will report back. If it blows up in my face, and kills me well at nearly 50, I can say I have had a good run!!! Okie
