Plug Spinners, Let's see them

Maybe a pic will get me some play from use guys.

Think this would work if the plugs were strung between the center axle and the outboard dowels?

ya it would work as a flipper similar to mine


with the inline spinners, it makes it easier to apply the epoxy

I think you might get uneven leveling lengthwise along the plug.

I was thinking the same thing...

I haven't had any so far
I think the viscosity has a lot to do with that issue and how thick you put it on
so if you apply it heavy then heat up your box to the point the stuff can sag, then you may have uneven spots. I have flipped plugs in the past, and I know others have as well. When I first began using epoxy, I used boat builders epoxy by system three and didn't even flip them, just had them on a nail thru a board, worked fine.

Got some great views and ideas from you all. Utilized what I liked with what I had available. Using a rotisserie motor I mount for a rod dryer so it can be used for both purposes. Here's the spinner unit. I will reduce its length to fit in a cabinet as soon as we start demo on a kitchen remodel later this month. Will add a light too. Thanks to all who shared.

I have 2 lure turners with interchangeable wheels, one is set for freshwater baits and will turn 64 freshy crankbaits at a clip the other is my saltwater turner that turns 8 baits at a clip. I also have 2 other freshwater and saltwater wheels that will fit either one of the turner frames for when I need to amp up the lure clearcoating process

I think you need the centerline of the plugs to be parallel with the axis the dryer spins on.

BTW , in my rod curing boxes I use a string of Christmas lights rather than a single bulb. Do to the long length of the rods , I must either distribute the heat source(s) or use a fan and fans are bad around wet epoxy. If your plug curing box is short it might not matter but if you make a longer one , the smaller lights in a string work nicely. I aim for about 90 degrees F inside. Not too hot but enough to insure overnight curing.
