Flipper

so far I've tried the single plug flip,I built an epoxy ferris wheel and the motorized inline heated epoxy box .. To make a long story short flipping produced the best results. When I spun the plugs inline the weighted plugs spun unevenly and the epoxy sagged.. The ferris wheel was a mother to put the epoxy on the plugs, always had voids.. The single flip was best but my fat dead fingers would drop the wet plugs on the dirty floor. With all the epoxy talk I thought I'd share the latest group flip proto with the barrel swivels I can spin the plugs and apply the epoxy much better.. Wearing a glove on one hand while moving the plugs has stopped my epoxy crawl..Working on the kitchen table and pre heating to room temperature plugs and epoxy has really cleaned up my finish . I boost the heat to 74 degrees to epoxy ... free plugs,,, right ... This is a work in progress .. I acually unclip the rack and flip it and clip it back in the wooden frame... If the rack was attached to wood frame and I could just spin it would be my next modification .. I have a nice wife that doesn't even blink when I do all this stuff .. One other mod would be to put washers or wrap tin foil around barrel swivels ..Had epoxy run in 2 of them and had to swap them out .. after a number of plugs though ..
Having trouble attaching pics ... will try latter sorry
