I will send it back if I have to, I'm the type that cant let go what I already got.

I was able to seal the container and get in touch with Yellow Jacket directly. They are willing to bypass the seller (whom I haven't contacted yet) and see about replacing it for me or getting me out replacement parts that I need. After talking with a engineer for a bit we came to the conclusion nothing other than what I already noticed was broken and I fired it up. Pulled full vac in about 5 seconds. I do need to get a digital micron gauge to see if it still can pull the full 20 microns it should. Only issue is that gauge is $150.... bleh

Edit: I have a 2 year 100% warranty so I'm not losing anything with taking my time.

I here you when it comes to not letting go of what I got, my company offered to send me a 3k replacement oven that's even better and Im like bigger is nice but It doesn't say resin cure so let's get back to talking me through opening this bitch so i can cover it with bathtub glue cuzz i can't get vac seal nasa glue.

You know dam well your never going to send it back if you wont do it now, I havn't stopped the vac since i got it, the dude asked me to turn off the oven while I opened it and I was like ugh i can't im purging, im not afraid of 44c coils so let's do this.

Hey did you ever get that magnetic stirrer?

No need to spend the big bucks to read in microns that low, because you only need to go down to about 29.5" Hg, which is around 10, 668 microns.

For the chamber yes; but that doesn't tell me that the pump is in 100% working order; ya know what I mean?

pump oil is like extra extra refined mineral oil, also there is light and heavy mineral oil so it get's iffy when your not buying "vacuum pump oil" but nobody said your pump wont run, just might run hotter and less efficient.

:wall: Vag gauge bent into itself and now won't let the needle move to give readings.

It's ok bud, i just bought an enail that doesn't fit anything, and the one way that works with all the adapter's has me putting the dab to the nail above my eyebrows. I feel the pain. Wait how the fuck did your gauge implode?
