Some guys use 30 minute epoxy and just hang them by the end. Then some guys use the epoxy and hang by end and just flip them end for end once in a while.

This is what I use. Arms are PVC pipes. Rotisseri motor keeps things spinning. Drilled holes on the arms and inserted cotter pins. Attach a spring to a pin then attach the plug. It will turn 12 plugs at a time.

Some great ideas here! I have a rod drying motor that I have made a chuck to turn one plug at a time while drying. I will have to build something along these lines.....:)

I use an old beat up cordless drill, tape the trigger at a good speed and lock the drill down with a vice, pull the battery out as a on/off switch. I use a straightened coat hanger if the plugs have not been thru-wired yet, if the the plugs are thru-wired I use old fish finder clips to link them. I have a screw eye in an old desk with a swivel that I use as the anchor. I can do like 5 at a time, taping the trigger is probably aint good for the drills motor, and pulling the battery probably aint good for the battery, but the plug must be turned.
