DIY Catch Pot for Vacuum Bagging

catch pot.JPG
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.
