Pressure pot container. - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

mtumbleson · #1 (**permalink**) 04-09-2006, 01:24 PM

I’ve been searching for a suitable container to convert my hobby gun to a pressure pot set-up and can’t find anything. Can anyone suggest where I might find something usable?

I don’t mind having to modify the container to fit this use; I just can’t find anything to start with. Any ideas?

if you are talking about a hopper here is a thread on the forum where someone made one up for the hobby gun.
DIY Hopper for the Caswell gun

Check with Caswell, they might part with the one we built for them.

I'm going to need 4 or 5, so I was hoping that someone had an idea for an off the shelf container that I could modify.

Also, I thought Caswell was going to market this (?)

You'll need to ask them, I thought they were looking into them as well.

goto any hobby store and get some quart containers with screw on tops. Thats what I did before. They were under 5bucks each. I made 3 of em. all diff. colors.

Then I desided to just make a swapable lid. to rotate to all the diff jugs I have.
