Love seeing the JS2.0 make a comeback, especially this green colorway.

Any chance of rebooting the JS1.0?

True! Maybe it's time to change the thread title to something more descriptive, like "Krytone's Krap Karnival"  :))... wait, on second thought, maybe that much alliteration is a bad idea...  :-X

hi there, i just got a pressure pot and i’m encountering some problem.
i’ve tried casting under pressure 3 times now and for some reason my resin doesn’t want to cure, it just stayed in elastic mode i’ve tried to balance the mixture using scale still the same result. does pressure affect the curing prosess? cause i have the same problem with my silicone curing under pressure, seems that it took longer to cure. i dont know if my silicone and resin is expired  cause i just bought them.
i cant get access to most common type of resin you guys use like smooth-on or alumilite so i just have a non branded d-80 resin and i use rtv silicone.

I actually use a local resin and silicone brand here in Malaysia so i dont think that matters. Also, i havent experienced pressure affecting the curing time. What i can guess is that either you dont mix them enough or you use less catalyst/hardener thats why it cures slower. Try to refine those 2 points and see what happens. Else if it still doesnt and you already followed the proper instruction of your resin/silicone, you need to contact your supplier to ask why.

I also used expired resin/silicone and they work just fine. The only difference they have with non-expired materials is that expired ones is more thicker and harder to stir but still usable. Hope that helps and GL.

i use 2 mixing cup to measure the volume which i use over again after i clean ofcourse, i did the same thing with the silicone its easier to clean the cup. is it possible thats the cause? its impossible to clean spotless but i’ve been doing that since the beginning and i’ve had no problem until i try preessure casting. but i’ll try more detailed measuring and mixing, thanks for the reply.

i use disposable cups for resin and silicone cause cleaning them is a pain and time consuming. Try it with a fresh cups and see if that helps. Also make sure you stir really well. One thing i always notice when transitioning from potless casting to using pressure pot is you got used to careful stirring which is not required already and just have a go at it and dont mind the bubbles since that would go away when being pressured.
