    Rod Wrapper & Motor Info Needed

    Guys,

    I am new at this stuff and I just want to try and modify some existing rod handles to be split rear grip with no foregrip. I need some feedback on the following items:

    1) Good source to get dryer motors
    2) What motor speed do you guys recommend?
    3) Good source of getting plans to make a "home made" rod wrapper

    Any other information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks...

    Speed isnt a major concern.....................motor reliability is!! The last thing you want is for your drying motor to go south while in the early stages of drying your finish coat of epoxy. Trust me when I say its no fun having to sand hardened epoxy sags!!!

    I have three individual drying units a 9 rpm, 11rpm and 36 rpm.................All do the job without any difference as far as I have seen..................

    The speed of the drying motor is not an issue providing the right amount of finish is applied.
