: Hello everyone,

: I am trying to make a vacuum bagging system as low-cost as
: possible. I have found a pump, but I'm looking for a pressure
: pot setup. Hopefully I can find a good deal on a paint pot, but
: thought I would pick your brains on what you've done for the
: "catch can" between the bag and the pump. I was
: actually thinking about an old pressure cooker and just tap it
: for the lines.

I am putting together a vacuum bagging system my self, and am using an old propane tank(outdated due to old style fittings) for my reservoir. I am putting ball valves on the intake side and the pump side. Used freon tanks might be available from air conditioning shops also.
