TCP Global 10 Gallon (38 Liter) Heavy Duty Steel Pressure Pot for Resin

It is big enough for the EiffelTower to fit inside.

This pot is made from very sturdy steel. Thick walled and heavy. I have used it twice and am well pleased both times. I have found by using only 25/30 pounds of pressure works better than 40/50 pounds it is rated. Granted, I used it on small pieces, not anything that would fill the pot up. When I try a big piece I will post a review on that as well. Overall, for the money, this is a very good pressure pot for crafts.

I really like this pressure tank. It leaked right out of the box. I put a little veg oil on gasket to start with and then I revealed all the loose fittings and I changed the input fitting because I wanted brass to match my air system. Held 40 psi for 48 hrs np. Good product

It’s a good tank. In the end I’m pleased with how it works however…I did have some issues getting a seal that I eventually sorted out through trial and error. First almost all the fittings were tight but not tight enough to prevent a slow loss of pressure. Soapy water trick eventually solved this. Second the tank is shipped in a near useless cardboard box that was so battered and beaten that I wondered why they bothered at all. It’s a good thing that the loose parts are placed inside the tank prior to shipping or none of them would have been in the box. This lack of proper packaging I expect why another leak was created. There was a dime sized chip in the paint on the rim of the tank right where the lid gasket sits. Because the paint is thick, the lid gasket would not conform to the shape between where there is paint and no paint . The leak was slow but noticeable. In 12 hours it would lose 20 psi. Sanding the paint either side of the chip to reduce the ridge between paint and no paint, corrected the problem. The poor packaging also resulted in one of the lid clamps arriving bent. Fixable but when you spend $1000 canadian I would have thought it would be packaged well enough to ship it without damage. If it didn’t have to go through customs and take so long to be replaced I would have sent it back for a replacement that was undamaged. All of this said, it’s a good tank. Large enough for bigger castings to fit. Built strong enough to survive relatively well despite being battered during shipping. If you can get one without the damage from inadequate packaging then it’s 5 stars.

I went from a 2 1/2 gal to this and it allows larger resin projects. Very well made and deals nicely.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. When he brought it into the garage for its first use, it was immediately apparent that multiple fittings were loose. After tightening all fittings and pressurizing the tank to 40 PSI, an audible air leak remained. A soapy water test confirmed leaks at several fittings. Teflon tape was applied, and all connections were tightened again, yet the unit continued to leak air from multiple locations. This level of workmanship is extremely disappointing. It is difficult to believe this product left the factory without someone being aware of these issues. The number of leaks on a brand-new unit strongly suggests a quality control failure, not an isolated defect. Given these issues, I have no confidence in the reliability or safety of this product. I will be returning it and feel it is important to warn other buyers that the quality control on this item appears severely lacking.

I finally got me hands on it,it is great. Just the size I needed!!

Arrived in good condition, no bent feet or handles. I did a pressure test when I first got it up to 45psi, within 30 min it was down to 20psi. As others have said there are leaks at the regulator, not just at the In/Out fittings but the nylon plug on the side. Almost every fitting on the fill stalk bubbled on a soap test including the threads where it screws into the lid. The pressure relief valve leaks as did the fitting for the gauge at the lid connection. I tried removing the plug on the regulator to silicone or pipe dope the threads but the socket just stripped. If you are using this in reach of an air compressor, probably not a big deal, and probably wont be for me in the summer. But if you need to have the tank in a warm location to cure but your compressor is outside, be ready to spend extra money on a not garbage regulator, relief valve and pipe dope.

Received the item, however, leaks from a number of joints that I had to reseal. Also leaked from the nylon side blanking plug on the regulator. Which I may now need to replace the regulator. Would send it back if I wasn't on the other side of the world. Not happy considering the price paid.

I ordered this pressure pot without reading the reviews (a bit silly I thought afterwards). When I read the reviews whilst I was awaiting delivery my spirits really dropped, people reporting damage, leaking like a sieve etc, the list went on and on. The day it arrived I nervously opened it, it’s condition was pristine, not a scratch or mark anywhere. I bolted on the castors, then for the acid test, will it leak, I pumped it up to 45 psi and left it for 3 days, it lost absolutely nothing. So I mixed up some resin and poured into my moulds, pumped up to 45psi again, I was busy with other things so just left it pressurised for 10 days until I was ready to use it, again after 10 days it still had not lost any pressure. I’m so pleased that I never read the reviews first because I would never have ordered it.

I needed a pressure pot for dice making and mold making. I bought this one because it has financing through Affirm and it doesn’t need modifications like some cheaper ones do. I don’t like to make expensive purchases and modify them, especially when they’re potentially dangerous if not set up right. It’s huge! But I can put 3-5 molds in at once without needing an insert to stack. It’s solid, well made, super easy to set up. I use an old air compressor that takes forever to pressurize and haven’t had any leakage issues other than things I hadn’t set up or tightened correctly. It takes my 2 gallon air compressor from the 1990s about 10 minutes to bring it to 40 PSI. That’s fine! Setting it up was simple, but the instructions were useless and not for this model. I watched a video on their website and a couple on YouTube for pressure pots for casting and got it running. You need a quick connect for the compressor, which are a dime a dozen. There’s a huge difference in my dice and molds, they’re perfect now. No bubbles, and I’ll put it on 28-34 PSI for dice and 38-40 PSI for silicone molds.

I am very satisfied with my unit. I use it when setting up resin / wood bowls for turning on the lathe. It definitely helps with the resin penetration

For all resin workers who use a pressure pot, this one is great, completely flat bottom, the size is fantastic. The only reason for 4 stars, we had to replace the safety valve as it wouldn't let the tank fet above 20psi and when you have a large mold almost a foot high and 7 inches wide you want more. Otherwise this is a good buy.
