HELP !!! Please somebody tell me what machine is that...

[Arahom Radjah]

Please if somebody knows what machine is that, I would like if you could give me that information !!! I know it is a kind of chamber to put pressure in the resin ... but what is the name of this machine and where do I get one for me ???? I know that Martin Canalle has one on his studio( those pictures are from his site )

I cast resin myself too and I just have purchased a Vacuum Chamber that cost me $ 2500, but when I saw him using that one to cast resin I realize that maybe I bought the wrong machine !!!! :banghead: :banghead: !!!

No problem with that since the Vacuum chamber is perfect to make the molds with silicon, But this keeps me where I started ... Looking for a better way to cast resin !!!!

Please somebody tell me how to get one like that !!!!

Arahom, why don't you just e-mail Martin? I'm sure he would be more than happy to help you. If you can't find his e-mail on the Gore Group web site let me know and I'll see what I can do.

[Zurbaran1]

Here you go: goregroup@sion.com

[Arahom Radjah]

No, this is not a VACUUM CHAMBER !!! I have one and it is diferent !!! this one is to put air inside... and the vacuum is to take the air out !!!

I already emailed him but nobody answered me yet !!!! I think I'm a little bit to much anxious with this matter !!! :banghead:

[carrillj]

I can't believe nobody knows what that is.

It's obviously a weapon of mass destruction. :confused2

[Bullseye]

Looks like a lobster cooking pot:)

[Daredevil]

Is this where they keep the cocaine fresh? :laugh:

Looks like one of those cans where the SWAT team tosses the bomb in for safety!

You should prolly email Helder too just to make sure, most of us here don't know squat, and then there's alot of us that just sculpt but still have no clue about the casting process. So your chances are slim with us, but all you can do is wait to see if someone does bring along the right answer.

My guess is that's it's the machine where they keep breast implants nice & fresh. :eplus2:

Might be a nice place to store your cryogenically(sp?) frozen head. WE can put you up on the shelf next to Ted Williams. But I'm not sure if the chamber is big enough, you have a fat head. :laugh:

[hellspawn77]

Its a pressure chamber but it can also be used as a vacuum chamber. All you need is the valve that can reverse the itnake of air and you can use it for both pressure casting and vacuum degassing...

I'm pretty sure Martin uses it for both.... give him some time as he's really busy.

Man !!! He sent me some pics sometime ago , but to be honest , I have no idea how it work , and I never seen something like that before !!

[comicbkguy]

Its a pressure pot

[Andy Bergholtz]

$2500??? I hate to say it, but you spent WAY too much money my friend. A pressure pot, vacuum pump, and air compressor are all you need to make excellent quality resin casts (and air-free silicone molds). Heck, some folks even get by with only the pressure pot and compressor (no vacuum pump).

I bought my pressure pot here (I recommend the 5-gallon model):

I put together an entire moldmaking/casting setup for about $500 to $600, which includes all the equipment I mentioned above.

Best of luck!

In any event write to me at dycs4@yahoo.com

I don't know if I cry or laugh !!!!! thanks a lot for this information.... I guess I was ripped of by the guy that sold me the vacuum chamber !! :banghead:


But this is not a big deal... I will package it up right now and send it back to him and ask for my money back !!!! With this money I can buy the right " pressure pot " and still have enough to take my wife for shopping !!! lol


Well I knew that I could count with you guys ... thanks so much to everyone that participate of this tread, even to those that had fun on me !!!! :stick: :stick:

If Sosa is your best friend you are in trouble :laugh:

[leks]

What did you do with the lobster pot you bought?:)

[CKinSD]

nice going arahom.

[Arahom Radjah]

What did you do with the lobster pot you bought?:)


Well, I can keep it to cook some delicious lobsters... but I think I will send it back to the store that I bought from !!!

The guy charged me $ 800 and some bucks for an "air pump" , besides the Chamber itself is too big and doesn't fit on my kitchen !!!! :laugh:

[Bullseye]

Wow $800. And will he refund you? What was it anyway?

[Arahom Radjah]

Wow $800. And will he refund you? What was it anyway?


Air pump is the opposite of an air compressor !!! It's a kind of Vacuum cleaner !!! :laugh: But a little bit more expensive ....
It is used to take the air out of the chamber !!!

They will refund me, I already spoke with them and it's all set ... I will just loose the ship cost !!! Well better this than loose the total amount !!!

[Bullseye]

True. Just visited your site. Some awesome stuff there. But the location of your house is kick ass. Must be great to live in such a place.

This place is AWESOME, and I thank GOD, for have had the opportunity to own this property... I think like my life just started again in the moment that I stepped out of the Airplane !!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!! :buttrock:

[Dead_Poole]

Its just a large pressure pot. Probably a 5 gallon one. Search google for "pressure pot" and youll get loads of em.

[Dead_Poole]

hey i should probably read more than just the first page of threads lol. looks like you already got your answers.

[Arahom Radjah]

Thanks anyway !!!! I already got one for me yesterday !!! A 10 gallon size... I think it will be enough to my molds, since I have big molds and a 5 gallons one would not fit for all my molds !!!

thanks guys ... :buttrock: :buttrock:

[Tommy Allison]

Okay, I'll dispell the mystery... It's a pressure pot. I made my own, for about $100.00.

Cheap, and easy to make if you know what you're doing.

[CKinSD]

ok tommy you are a bit late on this one :)

[Tommy Allison]

Yeah, I figured that one out after I read through the threads. You see, without my glasses, I'm pretty screwed.

[CKinSD]

dude i so understand I'm about a year off from having to get glasses. I'm being vain and not getting them yet. I cannot wear contacts there is some issue with my eyes that does not go with contacts. so I have to have glasses.
