What type (brand) of pressure pot do you use? Also, what size and pressure rating do you recommend? Thanks

Mine is one I would never try to explain to you. I made it from a pressure cooker and ................... AS THEY SAY ON MYTHBUSTERS, NEVER DO THIS AT HOME, WE ARE professionals. LOL
I know that you can get a pressure vessel from Harbor Freight, but I don't know the specs on it.

Harbor Freight paint pot converted to a pressure pot works well. It will take a couple fittings and perhaps a ball valve to make into a good pressure pot. Don't quote me but I think those pots are rated to 50 psi which is sufficient for pressure casting. I don't ever recommend using a pot at its rating even if it does have a safety release valve which I highly recommend on any pot you would use. 35-45 psi is adequate for most pressure casting you would ever do with our materials.
