A pressure pot will not explode if safeguards are in place. usually there is a blow off valve that will kick in around 60 PSI. Most pots will say how much pressure they can handle. Example my 2 pots have a limit of 80 PSI. Usually I pressure cast between 40 and 50 PSI. I set the pressure on my compressor and then on the pots. It is very unlikely that a pot will explode if you watch the settings and if your blow off valve is working properly. I've never had one go. You can buy them separate.

I hope this doesn't come off as a dumb question as I'm a complete newbee, but I was reading that a pressure pot can explode. Is this true? I'd like to get into pressure casting but am worried I might F this up and make it explode. Where can I buy that quick release emergency blow off valve from?

I would love to see more videos about the whole mould making/ pressure casting stuff and how you do it all.

Thanks :)
