TCP Global 5 Gallon (20 Liters) Pressure Pot Tank for Resin Casting - Heavy Duty Powder Coated Pot with Air Tight Clamp On Lid, Caster Wheels, Regulator, Gauge - Use for Curing Resin in Casting Molds

Tank works fine after I had to make some adjustments. Showed up with 4 leaks in the attachments on the lid so it wouldn’t hold pressure. Three of them were all from the regulator. Got tired of taking it off and on trying to stop the leaks so just removed it all together and only have the 1/4 turn valve in place with the QD inlet. Holds pressure just fine now. Also the overpressure relief valve was set to around 20psi so I couldn’t get it up to the max pressure of 50psi. Easy adjustment, however the product as a whole was not straight out of the box usable.

We did have to replace one of the parts it came with for the air compressor hookup (it took forever to fill because it wasn’t airtight) and there is a slow leak. We’ve tried sealing it and it’s helped, but we do have to fill it up again after 1-2 hours. Otherwise, it does get the job done, but don’t be surprised if you have to fill it more than once to keep the pressure up.

It worked fine out of the box. After a few months, it started leaking. The air intake regulator wasnt attached properly with plumbers tape. I fixed that issue. Then, the air intake regular started leaking from the 2 bolts on each side. My fix was to remove it entirely, because my air compressor has an air regulator on its output. I also had to use plumbers tape to seal each connection.

The shipping on this was super fast and it came ready to use out of the box. The only assembly I needed to do was attach the wheels on the bottom. It holds pressure really well. I had it at 40 psi and it only lost 3 psi over 20 hours which is fine for my purposes as the silicone and resin I use it for do not take that long to set. 10/10 would buy again and I highly recommend investing in one of these for mold making and resin casting. Its well worth the price.

Resin work for my business and the way this was made could only hold one product St a time this was not mentioned in discription

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.

Really well built.

OMG I LOVE this!!

Have been casting for some time now and graduating into larger volume pieces which necessitates a pressure pot for best results. I am not one bit disappointed in this unit and it has surpassed my expectations on EVERY project thus far. Easy to use either upright or on its side with identical results. Super solid construction..Quality components and heavy duty for sure. I will be purchasing an even larger unit shortly and will only consider this manufacturer. Worth every penny. A must buy for the beginner and expert alike.

A little bit of Teflon tape on the regulator threads and 35 psi and no bubbles in my resin
