SlowFISH Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I have a used Lee and a Presto..... If you're doing alot of hand pours... the Lee pot may be an effective item for you. I have a hard time controlling the temp but there are a bunch of threads on how you can attempt to solve this... I just pour darker colors or one layer for a laminate from it and that works for me. The Presto can hold alot more plastic - and due to it's size makes hand injection (filling the injector) easier. It seems to hold temp a bit better as well - cleanup is much easier as the teflon lets the plastic peel out easily. They each have their merits.... alot depends on what you've going to do with it. I will admit though - if I had to buy another - I'd buy another presto. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Get a presto pot you can't go wrong holds temps very well. Is this the kind of Presto Pot you're talking about? http://www.walmart.com/ip/14321003?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yes sir that is correct, it can be modified quite easily and tap and install a pour valve, just do a search on the subject it's easy but there are some finer points to follow to get it just right.

I did a search for Presto Pots pour valve, spout, and general, but I couldn't find the thread you're talking about, although I do remember reading it some time ago. My main concern, if I were going to install a pour spout, would be to do it without hitting the heating elements. Do you have a link to the thread that discusses that?
