Also got the vacuum pump they recommend in the "often bought together"; you don't need the adapter that is recommended there though. I use it to degas my silicone for molds and just to pull any big bubbles once I pour resin so I know the mold is full (do not degas resin, it's bad news bears).
And I got the 5gal pressure pot from Harbor Freight which you see recommended a lot. Also got a small, oil-free airbrush compressor there that auto stops at 58psi as the recommended Max for the pot is 60. With it, make sure you get shut off valves and an adapter that will fit the compressor hose. An employee can help! If you don't have a harbor freight locally, I recommend calling their services department instead of trying to navigate their website. Make sure to get good thread sealant to stop air leaks at all the junctions; I used Loctite red and coated both the female and male threads before tightening. I also recommend a couple of small c clamps as the lid doesn't always seal well and you don't know until you're up to 40/50 psi, so they work great to put a little extra pressure on the seal wherever it's letting air out (you'll hear it). Don't over tighten the c clamps as you don't want to warp the lid seal.
PS. Not an expert, just what I've used/learned over the past month of messing with these in my free time.
