Don't be afraid of the pressure pot. The first thing I like to do whenever I get a new one is set the pressure regulator to just below the operating psi, which you only have to do once. If your operating pressure is maximum 50 psi, go about 45 psi. Mine is 60 psi, so I set it to about 55 psi which is consistently the best pressure for casting any type of resin I've ever used...flexible resins like what you use (I use Flex-It 90, same thing as PX90), cheap epoxy resin, rigid urethane resins, etc. You do this by filling the pressure pot (lid fully secured, of course) with the air from the compressor and wait until the gauge almost reaches the maximum psi. Then close the air inlet valve to stop any more air coming in. Turn the regulator knob in whatever direction decreases the pressure (if differs depending on the machine) until the gauge is at your desired psi and you will never need to mess with it ever again. Every time you pressurize the pot from now on, it will fill up to this level and then stop (but still close your inlet valve, shut off your air compressor, and detatch your air hose when you reach this pressure). Also, line your pressure pot flooring with parchment paper and a circular rubber silicone baking mat. Trust me on that one. When you're not using your pot, keep some desiccant packs in there to prevent any air moisture from accumulating inside.
Dude! This looks great! Whether it's restoration, or something you made from scratch, your projects are always a great watch! I'm excited for what comes next.
Another great toxic crusader restoration on the smog cycle, again I love the attention to detail that you went to in building the extra parts to drawing out the stickers and adding your own squashed bug to the headlight such a great job mate 😎👌🏻☢️☢️☢️
Ohhhh can’t wait!!! My neighbor who moved used to work on Bucky o hare and some other playmates stuff. Wish I had gotten more time with him. These toy lines we grew up with are so much fun.
I just used what I had at hand ,bit of water did it fine 🤷♂️ thanks for watching though and will give those a try if get any stubborn sticker residue!
@@eye_made_this I have a complete but knackered sticker TMNT pizza thrower. I have found sticker sheets but removing the residue and old stickers is the first step. Keep up the awesome content. I am SUB’d
Dude you absolutely nailed every part of this! Well done!!
Thanks so much for watching. Really appreciate it !
Very impressive. A lot of work and care went into making the missing bits. Well done!
Thanks :)
Looks amazing man, what a job! Great work. :)
It’s all your fault !!!! 😁

Wow, thanks so much. This is incredibly helpful 🙏🤘
@@eye_made_this Just don't turn the regulator knob too far to where it falls off. You will not be able to get it back on. Ask me how I know 😉
Dude! This looks great!
Whether it's restoration, or something you made from scratch, your projects are always a great watch!
I'm excited for what comes next.
This has made my day , thank you so much!
Really excellent! When is Neca going to reboot the toxic crew?
@@emilflognoid1532 Super 7 are. I'm pretty sure you can still pre order the Radiation Ranger, Junkyard and a cartoon version of Toxie.
Excellent work as always! Got to admit I winced a bit when you poured the silicone into the hose mold... Instant thought was good luck finding that!
Yeah I think I lucked out with those hah
Incredible mate, I love the level of detail you went into on this and especially the personal touches 👌 You've inspired me 👊
Aww that means a lot dude, I really appreciate it :)

Thanks dude , a bunch of the details were off and some of the parts are too big but meh… who cares hahah!
@@eye_made_this not at all I think it makes it unique only one in the world 😂
Thats awesome great job
Thanks, I have a restoration of the Attackcopter coming soon :)
Very cool. Awesome job. Fun to watch too! Love to see you work on more in that line.
Thanks for watching. Should be starting on restoring the Attackcopter soon!

@@darthprime4916 wow, that’s amazing!
It's always Nozone's goggles that are missing lol. Nice job. I think your squashed bug is an improvement on the original sticker.
Thanks dude . I think I’m going to have to make my own goggles at this point!
as far as removing sticker residue, would orange oil/ citrus oil not have been a bette r option, or am i missing something?
I just used what I had at hand ,bit of water did it fine 🤷♂️ thanks for watching though and will give those a try if get any stubborn sticker residue!

@@ADAM_COLLECTS awesome. Have fun bringing it back to its former glory!
