Think this would work if the plugs were strung between the center axle and the outboard dowels?
I think you might get uneven leveling lengthwise along the plug.

I was thinking the same thing...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

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.

Dual purpose lure dryers

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
