DIY Catch Pot for Vacuum Bagging
I needed a catch pot for resin for my carbon fiber and fiberglass project. I tried to use a crappy food canister from VValmart but i failed on setting up the project. 10 bucks down the drain but what can you do. I figured I would try a piece of PVC pipe with end caps and it has worked like a champ.
Materials
-PVC pipe
-End Caps
-PCV Primer
-PCV Cement
Depending on your project you might need specific tubing, fittings, and etc. Which I will not be addressing here.
First
Drill holes in the end cap. I drilled two and then remembered that I needed three. One for in. One for out. And One for my pressure gauge.
Prime & Glue the Parts
Prime all the parts and glue them together.
Thats It!!
I mine is totally crappy. I was so pissed that my first attempt didnt work I whipped this up and started using it.
