One of the other posters said use a hair dryer to spread out the etex. That is what I do and I rarely have a problem. I use Flex=Coat syringes available at CMS in New Bedford. Mine are dried on a jig similar to yours that turns on my rod making lathe. I have made hundreds of rods and rarely have a problem. If my plugs are drying overnight, I place a cardboard box over the turning plugs and hang a 40 watt light bulb over this rough enclosure. I only use this if the temps are very low or the humidity is high. I have more problems in high humidity with rods than plugs.
