Muskey, that is slick! Need details... What did you salvage the case from? What motors? That is a piece of furniture! I would be epoxying in my TV den with that set up! Sweet...

Looks like you found a curbside entertainment center and put it to good use!!! Is that a exhaust fan in the bottom?

Great job!!!!
Very impressive!!!

Thanks guys!
I bought the old entertainment center on CL for $20. I cut a hole in the top and added a piece of lexan for light. I cut a hole in the bottom and added a heat lamp with a dimmer switch so I can control the temp (ambient to 120), and a SS heat shield so I can distribute the heat when using the bottom wheel. I sealed the glass gaps at the hinges with the same sealer you would use to winterize your front door. I also have an old small axial fan in the lower unit to help circulate the heat. I used two grill rotisserie motors that I switched out with threaded rod, and the circles are rigid plastic 5 gallon paint lids. Keeps the dust out and the heat really helps the cure time.

I need to pass along a great tip from Ecduzitgood, it will help to add a mirror to the back wall of the cabinet. Helps you see bubbles and adds light to the cabinet.
Love the creativity!!!

I went with the wheels spinning versus the inline because I wanted to put more plugs on it at once and not worry about the epoxy sagging, it is a little trickier to apply the epoxy but I like it better. I need to add a light so I can see better and add a little heat for when I am applying epoxy in the winter.
