Yeah, mine has a 3 gallon tank - it's not necessary, but some people report that some compressors without them have slight air pressure problems when pressing the trigger down after letting it sit for a bit. To solve this problem, people have just added an empty 2 liter of pepsi into the hose as a make-shift tank. Note: only use pepsi, and not coke bottles as the plastic is different. If you are interested I can look for the post, but if it costs like $10 more for a tank attached I would go that route.

tank give you more uniform pressure, less noise, and may lengthen life of compressor as it has less on/off cycles.

pepsi tank mod is here:

the connectors are hard to find in the US though.

hi you need to clean the resin of the mold release agent that the manufacturers use in the process of making the resin kit.
get yourself some castrol break fluid or purple power at your local walmart and wash the resin and scrub it with a tooth brush
