Just wanted to get a feel for the process everyone is using for drying their E-tex. I'm considering building a drying box for my plug wheel/rotator. I currently apply E-tex, spin on wheel at room temp (this time of year ~65 degrees) for about 4-6 hours, then move the baits to my insulated heat box where I cure them @ about 110 degrees for another 16-18 hours.
I'm curious with all the cool heated drying boxes I see here if it would help for me to be able to get the original set up temp around 80 degrees, and then when it's set (~ 6 hours), crank the heat up. I know to much heat early the E-tex will tend to run off the plug.

Thanks,

MS
