Well this IS my last DIY resin pot tell I get a real one. If your in a pinch you could make a temp one like this too.

I had made a horizontal version about a foot long out of 3" pipe, and I filled it haha. so then I built this beast its about 3ft by 4" Plus being vertical can fill it all the way up not just half.


The lowest nipple is for going to the part, the higher one goes to the pump on the table. this is a good safety because the thing should clog before reaching the gauge or pump and I will know its full.


I think I over did it on this one haha, just because I was learning on the smaller one I had and it filled pretty quickly. However now that I know a bit more on pulling the resin right I don’t think I will have much waste and the little catch pot they sell will be perfect.
