Pressure pots and compressors

[webby962]

Hi all,
Quick question for those that use pressure pots for casting.
I already have a Mini compressor, that I used for small airbrushing, and it is rated at max 50PSI with 21l per min air displacement.
I was thinking of getting this pot which has a max rating of 80PSI (although they recommend for safety working at 10PSI below that):
Resin Model Moulding Casting Tank 10Litre

Does anyone know if this will be sufficient for pressuring a pot for Opti cast 100 PU resin?
Or will I need a bigger compressor?

Pretty much same pot as mine I only go to around 50 to 60psi.
Not sure the compressor would be up to it though

Cheers, if 50-60 PSI is needed, ill get a new compressor.

Just a thought, Light-duty compressors generally have 90 psi, which is typically sufficient for pneumatic tools for simple household tasks, which is typically sufficient for pneumatic tools.
You never know what you will need in the future, better to have too much than too little.

A larger compressor will always be more relaxing, not hunting in and out, most useful for so many other projects.
