Im looking for a good pump to start infusion with. I am going to be starting out small with the infusion process, but would like to be able to work up to larger parts. Like car doors, hoods, etc. I realize that my budget is small and if all goes well I will eventually have to get better equipment. I have done some searching and get a lot of mixed results on pumps. Would a Robinair 15500 work for this. I have read they pull about 29hg. I have read that 29 is about the minimum for infusion. Is there anything better? I can get a 15500 for about $150-200 new. Like to stay around the 150-300 range

Nothing from anyone?


Any pump that gets you to 29 is fine cheap or expensive. When I started out I used a old fridge motor pump.
