Hi all, first post!
Ive been lurking for a while thought Id best say hello and for ask for a bit of guidance please:)
For the past year ive been sculpting, mould making and casting 30mm chibi miniatures via injecting the resin at ambient pressure.
The success rate has been pretty good, but there is scope improvement. I feel investing in a pressure set up before vacuum would be the best option. Eventfully I will look at getting the degasing gear too, however my budget is around £300.
I was looking at using this 10lt paint pot along side this compressor.

Sensible choice? Smaller compressor maybe? What fixtures and fitting do you think ill need?
The ive been using cures fairly quickly 10/15 mins and I like the non odour of it too.
Any thoughts and insights would be much appreciated. Mistakes can be costly in casting as we all know, I want the most fit for purpose equipment I can get!
Mould sizes are small 10cm by 8cm by 6cm. Appreciate ill probably need to redo the moulds as they haven't been degased or pressurised.
More examples of my work can be found at my account,
Thanks for reading!
Cheers
