    Maze Most of the rods I build are fly rods. However' date=' I do build quite a few conventional rods (plug & spin) for use on the Texas coast. About 85%-90% of the rods I build are on Batson Enterprise blanks, both the RainShadow & Forecast series. I feel that that Batson produces some of the best blanks [u']for the money[/u] going. Also, they stand behind the products they sell.

    foxfire I'm not sure that there is a "best" RPM for a universal dryer. Like Maze posted, I too believe that the RPM would depend on the finish material. I built my first dryer out of a BBQ rotisserie that turned at 6 RPM and it did well. I now use two other dryers that turn a little faster (1@11 rpm & 1@20 rpm)and they seem to work as well. The faster RPM's do allow me to apply the epoxy a little faster though. I think that being able to level the blank is as important if not more so than the rpm that it's turning.
