Reliable Resin Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Well , as I was diligently working in the shop last night I heard a Huge "THUD" at the shops door .............then the sound of Jingle Bells Running off into the Cold nights air, as I opened the door I heard a faint "Ho Ho Ho" ................off in the distance As I looked around, to my surprise ... no one was there However as I glazed downward OMG !!!!!! A HUGE PRESSURE TANK................ There is a Santa Claus after all & I must have been a Good Boy this year LOL After all there's Only so much one can do w/ those Lil' 2 gal Paint Pots ( & I have 3 of them lined up ) Now we're ( almost ) Limit less , as to the Size of Projects ( Rubber Molds ) In the words of Bobby Di Nero "You can fit two , tree bodies in dere ! " More to Come ....................... Merry Christmas to all Build ON ! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resinslinger Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Don, Yes indeed, that pressure tank is the ticket. What size is it? Looks like at least a 10 gallon. What is your max PSI? I found a 5 gallon tank for $25.00 and I am seriously thinking of buying it if the gasket is in good shape. Like you said, only so much you can do with a 2-1/2 gallon tank....no matter how many you have. Have fun with your new toy............. Chris.

Reliable Resin Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 It's at least 10 gals .............. like I said It's HUGE This will allow us here to expand our product line to Molds that won't fit in a 2 agl tank, not mention pour more than One Body @ a time When we set this Bad Boy up , should be able to hold at least 8 full body molds in one pour session !!! That will be much more efficient & productive In the past 2 years we've just about doubled our product line & in dire need for a Major re tooling & organization of the shop Good luck w/ your spinning thingy there Happy Holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resinslinger Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Don, Yes, a 10 gallon tank will definitely help you out in the number of full body molds you can do in one pour, especially that VERY COOL drag-boat you are going to produce. Same here with my shop. So many projects going on right now. One of the main reasons I decided to do the spinning thingy. I will send you a copy of the plans (if it works) when I have it built. Not much good for body molds, but very good for almost everything else. BTW....I'm sending you a personal email that you might want to read. Take care. Chris.

Dragon7665 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Congrats on the New Toy Don I've been wanting one as soon as I get the work space for it, that would help tremendously in making 1:1 Scale Kustom Tails and Such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
