Pressure pot question

[Scott.tudhope]

Where can I get a pressure pot and what should I like for?

I am sure that you will get a whole flood of answers from the casters on here. But for sure I would look for a steel pot. Binks, CA Technologies for a couple.

Scott- I had a HF pot that blew up after three uses. Replaced it with one from CA and could not be happier. The price is a little (a lot) more for the CA pot but I feel safer using it. Lots of folks use the HF pot and never had a problem...quality control is hit or miss.

I had 3 Harbor Freight pressure pots. All of them leaked. I then went with a Binks pot, and that puppy is absolutely great. You pay more for it, but I personally think it's worth every penny.

Another person who had a HF pot blow up on him is Curtis (MesquiteMan).

So is there one specifically for casting or just a regular paint pot?

Scott- this is the pot that I bought & yes it is made for casting.

Actually, that one looks exactly like this one at gleempaint.com, only the gleem one is a lot cheaper.

Your right Chip. The only difference I can see with the CA pot you don't have to cut the paint feed off. Rather then a tube, the CA pot has a air diverter installed so the air does not blow directly on the casting while filling.
