Could this compressor work for pressurizing epoxy?

[George Pagliarulo]

I have this old DeVilbiss compressor that has been lying around for years. It still works and actually sounds pretty cool when it is running - thwappa..thwappa..thwappa..thwappa..thwappa.
Anyway, I am getting rid of old stuff from my shop to make more room. I was about to get rid of this compressor but then wondered if it would work for compressing bubbles in epoxy pours for small items. I have no idea what type of pressures are required for that. I also have a two or three gallon paint pressure pot that goes with it.
What do you think? Could it work?

as long as you can get to 60-80 psi in a pressure pot, it should do the trick.

Wow 60 to 80 sounds a little high. I do all of mine between 40 and 45. Any compressor should work. I put a pressure regulator on my pot and have no leaks. Once it gets up to 45 pounds the compressor never comes back on.

  For this resin, you should use 40–60 psi for smaller pieces and 80 psi for larger pieces. For shallow, open molds, 30 psi is recommended. You should cure the resin for 2–4 hours at 70–75°F.
