This is how I have been doing it up until now but I finally decided I need a separate degassing chamber so I can possibly degas while doing an infusion. Sorry I don’t have a picture.

I typically use 2.5 gallon pressure paint tanks, available at numerous places less than $100.

hi guys, is it recommended/safe to use a glass container when degassing the resin?

If it is strong enough, yes. Aim for thicker glass objects (cheese pots, things like that. IKEA is your friend.
