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!

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 !!


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 !!!!

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I also have a vacuum pump lying around here somewhere

Should I post pics? I have never tried using it for casting.

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 !!!!
