Apply epoxy to plug, then attach to "ferris wheel". At least thats how I've done it.

I hang all the plugs on the wheel first.
I include at least one spring in each row to allow some spinning of the plugs as I epoxy.
My wheel has 16 stations that are 24" wide. I can usually stagger at least two plugs per row, even though I never do that many plugs at one time. I can easily do 20 plugs without worrying about sagging.
My method is to unhook the spring from the end and while holding the plugs out from the wheel under a bright set of lights I epoxy the two plugs. After all plugs are done I turn the wheel on and do a final check for holidays.
After a short time I use a propane torch and move it side to side under the plugs to eliminate any bubbles that may form.
I usually spin them for at least a couple of hours and sometimes overnight if I feel that the epoxy was too stiff.
Keep the working epoxy floating in a warm cup to allow easier speading.
The attached picture is of the rack when I had only 1/2 the stations.
As a bit of info, I now wire before epoxying.

don't know why you have smily issues but maybe you need to check you preferences/settings under you user CP and make sure you don't have it set for the smilies turned off.
I can help with pics tagger |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Like Slip said, also could be your firewall. Right click your fire wall icon,turn it off while you post the pics, then back on again. |

Thank you for the idea. I am hard at work building one after you told me about it a few weeks ago. I really like the idea. What would be your maximum amount of plugs at once do you think? Making mine with a frame so you can just spin it and then lock in place. I will probably make 2. What do you think stainless?  Just kidding. Great idea. Paul |

If you are going to spin it on a frame what about 2 of those set up's you have one on top of the other with something in the middle to catch any drips so not to land on row below. Would be pretty tall but get twice as many done. I think I am going to change my course and go that route. P.

there's a fine art to removing the straw somewhear in the middle.
if you forget you can always trim it up with a hobby knife. |
