Pressure Pot

The Model 930 Pressure Pot is used in conjunction with acrylic and epoxy cold mounting materials. The pressure pot is designed to produce clearer, denser, and less porous acrylic and epoxy mounts. After pouring the cold mount material into the mold, the entire mold is placed inside the Pressure Pot. The Pressure Pot is then sealed and pressurized to between 25-30 PSI. The Pressure Pot prevents the hardener (monomer) from converting to a gas which would create gas bubbles. By applying pressure, the monomer remains in a liquid state and continues to polymerize.
