I have been using a BBQ motor for years and got tired of the slow(3 to 4 rpm) speed. just got a microwave turntable motor, 34 rpm and changes direction every time you turn it on. Sometimes I have to turn my rod jig around to clear longer rod sections so I find this helpful. Faster speed means your are done applying before finnish starts to set up. Some guys use a 100 rpm motor. Good luck
