I want pressure cast resin in a 2.5 gallon tank and vacuum degas silicone in a similar small chamber. Will this work for both jobs?

I doubt it. Though for the price, it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you'll have a great portable compressor for small nailing jobs, inflating tires, etc. BTW, how do you de-gas something with a compressor?

I don't know what volume of air you require, this doesn't put out very much but it will build to a pressure of about 130lbs. The compressor is designed to operate small finishing nailers and would also work great for airbrushing. The best thing about this compressor is it's quiet operation. It's an excellent small compressor. Thank you. Jerry

I have used this resin in silicone molds and plastic containers and jewelry molds and added confetti and decorations ie charms, stickers, sprinkles etc. I don't quite understand how you work with canvas mixed media, or what you would pour it into to mold the shape, but the resin is excellent quality. It works best when the room temp is a tad warm, you should open a window for ventilation. Be very careful to mix EQUAL parts stir slowly ! and for about 5 minutes scraping the sides, wooden popsicles sticks and plastic colored shot glasses from the dollar store work great to stir the resin, as you have to constantly throw them away after mixing so they are affordable and economical. Use wax paper for your work area, the resin can damage furniture or counter top. If there are any bubble after you pour simply take a straw and blow gently thru it over the resin and they will be gone. Hope this helps. I have used this resin for quite a long time with great results. I usually buy it at my local craft store with the 50 percent off coupon and it is really economical, not sure I can mention the name of said craft store, but you can buy plenty with the 50 % off, I do it weekly and sometimes print 2 and take a friend and print 2 more and visit another store. EasyCast also sells jewelry molds that I have used for making crafts ( I own a business) with this resin instead of jewelry, they are a bit hard to get out of plastic molds, you DO NOT need to buy mold release. It takes 24 hours for the resin to dry don't touch it and as mentioned before be careful to mix equal parts. If you put your mold in the freezer for 10 min or so the shapes pop right out. Hope this helps. PS do not attempt to buy candy molds for this resin the results will be very disappointing. Use silicone molds or jewelry molds. As stated jewelry molds are a lot harder to get the region out of but 10 min in the freezer and they pop out.

yes, but you may get just a couple of nails out before it won't work, not enough air tank space. need more tank mass for this.

Yes. Close smaller jar with its lid very, very lightly closed against its glass edge. Put it in the larger jar or vacuum canister. Suck the air out of the larger jar. The vacuum in the larger jar will also suck the air out of the smaller jar and suck its lid tight. Break the vacuum on the large jar and remove the small jar. Then give the lid on the small jar a good twist to seal it tight. I've done this with no problem at all. Although, I'm using a DIY system made from a bicycle pump. It can pull about 25 inches Hg of vacuum !!!

Any 5 to 10gal shop/garage compressor should be fine. I used the 5gal I have in my garage and had no issues. I wouldn't use anything smaller than that tho.

You will need regulators to use this torch. There is a kit available for small tanks. This is more expensive to use but practical for limited use. I The Little Torch with Regulators for Disposible TanksIf you decide to go to larger tanks you will need different regulators. I suggest going to a welding supply company as there are different configurations depending on what kind of gas you want to use. BTW I used these torches for 30 years before retiring. Best one available for fine work.

If you have the same quick connect that Mr. Heater uses on there heaters it will work. Your heater should use the same psi as all propane burners and heaters use. If you do not have the same quick connect there are an abundance of connectors out there. Just make sure you buy a hose that is regulated at the tank.

Accepting that I am not an expert, I dont see any reason why it couldnt be used this way. It seperates well when casting inside tin based silicone. I would imagine casting inside will work well. The very liquid viscosity fills in small parts even after adding various silica to specify properties. I am new to polyurethanes and learned you have to be fast in the mold. I wouldnt stir it more than 15 to 30 seconds before you get it in. Much harder than epoxies without fillers. They sell larger volumes on their website.

I found it on the Lotos web site in the manual. The CFM requirement is only 3.8. @ 66 PSI. A small compressor should do the job. Tank size will not matter if you have at least these specs.

This is more of a gasket type silicone and doesnt dry as rigid and hard as say the clear silicone look for specific type silicone that is for aquariums or is especially for use in sealing glass......it is usually right with other silicones made by Permatex at hardware store......or Amazon search it(havent tried that......but gonna right now...LOL)

I just use EasyCast resin. I haven't experimented with any other resins, but it works well so I feel no need. (:

Yes it will....just be careful not you use alot...but it really depends on the size of the tank and how many you have in the tank

I have not tried it but I can say it's not a good idea. The silicone is a very snug fit so thick puree will not be able to climb up into the chambers.

This vacuum is quite large. Although you may be able to use it I wouldn't think it practical or cost effective for a small tank.

It probably would. If not, switching to another canister only takes moments. You might consider an adapter hose and 5 gallon tank.

It's only designed for propane and mepps, I believe. Acetylene/oxy torches require a different torch tip size to burn propane, so I presume the same is true in reverse. Besides this is a screw-on, to fit one use propane tanks.

It should, I have used it on a couple different brands of jugs. I would say no smaller than 5 gal though
