Pressure pot advice

[Stew]

Hi guys,
Lots of people seem to be making there own blanks here in the UK so I'm assuming that all the equipment has been acquired here, has anyone a recommendation for a supplier and a pressure pot, Also is there a clear medium similar to Alumilite, think I'm after a smell free type if possible
Cheers Stew

Welcome to the forum Stewart. I purchased both of my pressure pots from here you can also now purchase Alumilite over here from Metalclay

Hi Stew.
I bought a paint pressure pot from amazon and spent about £15 converting it.
The pot is rated to 80psi but rarely go over 40.
I use a resin called resin 4 art. Off eBay. It was the cheapest I could find while experimenting, but it’s actually a decent resin. You get about 45mins open time.

As for material I've found this good

Downside - it takes 48 hours to set.
Upside - You don't need a pressure pot.
