Rod Building epoxy takes at least 6 hours so it's about the same

The trouble with e-texing plugs is that while a person normaly makes one rod at a time and only need one spinner , making plugs required more spinners unless you only spin 1 plug a day . I now have 7 .  |

I'll have to build me one of those Ferris wheel style dryers Like Jig man has.
Chumbucket also had a pretty cool drying system that looked like a Train.

epoxy is better used as a sealer than a finish coat as it never fully dries.
very sticky though and makes a good thick base to fill in grain.

What would you use over e-tex as a finish coat on lures ? |

Rod drying motors make good spinners

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.

I've been using the Devcon2 30 minute epoxy. It goes on easy and I haven't had to use a spinner to get a smooth finish. I also have never had the problem of it not setting up fully like some of the E-Tex guys have mentioned.
The big drawback is that since its a 30 minute epoxy you can only do 1-2 plugs at a time......which is going to be a pain-in-the-A$$ for the Super Swap  . This usually isn't a big deal since I only do a few plugs at a time normally. |

8 hrs to dry is nuthin'
my stuff takes 16 hrs. @70 degrees.
every ten degree drop the time doubles 32 hrs @60 degrees, 64 hrs @ 50 etc...
you want something quick to spray on top soze you can wire it hold it touch it etc..... put rattle can clear on it. then wire it, then epoxy,or system 3,or e-tex and let it spin away overnight.

Slip, How did you conect all those plugs. That looks sweet. Right now I have the same motor but made it so I can dry one plug at a time. Your method looks sweet. Thanks, PB
