> 24 hourI went from a 2 1/2 gal to this and it allows larger resin projects. Very well made and deals nicely.

> 24 hourThe unit is heavy and well built. The only problem I have with it is that there was a nut and lock washer missing from the package. No big deal, but it was used to hold on one of the casters and was METRIC! That was no surprise since this was made in China. Its just a pain in the but to source a replacement of unknown size. Only one trip the Home Depot and buying both SAE and Metric nuts that looked like they would work.

> 24 hourIt’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.

> 24 hourproduct is phenomenal, works right out of the box. Just hook an air hose up and go a few seconds, or a bike pump and hit a good workout

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourProduct was damaged and unusable upon arrival. The damage made it so the internal container could not be removed. Also could not use wheels because of the damage. Never actually got to use the pot because turning it on with the damage would have been unsafe. I can’t for certain say if the damage was already there or happened during shipping. It could be either.
