yeah I seen that one on Ebay for sale I suspect it is just some guy making the same pot I did, but selling them to other people. I would not want that kind of liability.

Most shields are made out of rubber compound. Special rubber to be used for pressure pot when it mass constant changing under heat and pressure. Your first home build last 5 years but the Walmart one only last 1 year.

Actually they are both from Walmart, the second one is just bigger than the last. The first one I used JB Weld to hold all the componts, worked great. THis time I used threaded connectors and rubber gaskets. Good thing too, because I had to replace the pressure gauge on this one.

I suspected the WM gasket is made out of poor quality "foreign" stuff.

Yeah, YOu never know, when I made both pots I had to remove all the rubber gaskets in the lid, they only held like 4lbs of pressure, and then sealed off the holes. THe gasket in the rim of the lid "shield" I kept but because of the hard water around here it lost it must have become mineralized and lost its ability to seal properly.
