epoxy drying gadget

[D. Micus]

i'm finally going to break down and buy something to help dry my epoxy flies. staying true to my cheap nature, i have no intention of paying $50 plus for some battery powered piece of junk. any suggestions on making one? i've heard rotissery motors are good, but it's not a very common yard sale item. anyone have a tip for an electric motor (plug in) that would fit the bill???

watch for old sewing machines. Trash days in a nice neighborhood can be very productive. Take the foot pedal as well.

Also great for wrapping rods.

Cabela's has a dryer motor for 22.99 in the tackle craft catalog. Buy a foam disk at your local craft store

thanks guys! bill, i checked out that motor and found one on ebay for $10; JME, i'll use the plans you gave the link to make the set up. and, larry, liked your idea but figured i'd better not take apart the bride's sewing machine...

Dave,

When you get this puppy put together, please share some pictures with the rest of your bargain-basement compatriots. I've been planing to make one of these for the last year and a half.

Excellent choice on the bride's sewing machine, BTW! 8T

You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.

There is a guy who sells on eBay and direct. He has motors and complete kits for drying machines. Very good prices! His name is John Fleisher and he is great to do business with. His email is:

I was going to try sticking my epoxy's in the side wall of my truck tire and drive slowly around the block a couple times. That might work.

Splitditch,

I don't think that even Dave himself has thought of that particular solution. Congratulations, you've out Daved even Dave! 8T
