Hey folks. I decided to take up casting for my figures since my Target and Walmart never has any Legends or DCU figure. I got an air compressor off ebay that has a 100 psi max, with 2 hb. I also got a pressure pot with an 85 psi max.
The only problem is I can't get the pressure pot to pressurize!
The pressure gauge on the pot doesn't move and when I shut off the compressor I can hear a hissing coming from the pressure pot. Any ideas?? Any help would be awesome, I'm just afraid that I got ripped off on the pressure pot. Faulty O ring maybe? If it was just a bad O ring wouldn't the gauge still go up? Please help!
You could try the old soap test. Put soapy water on all the fittings while the compressor is running, if you see a lot of bubbles forming at one of the joints, that's where your leak is (yes, real professionals do this test ).
Its entirely possible though, that you don't have a leak but just a broken gauge. The hiss you hear from the pressure pot after the compressor is off might be a release valve depressurizing the pot for safety reasons.
Please wait...
