finlander Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Gentlemen. Greetings. I haven’t been here in a long time. What I need help with is a good source for a motor. Tried turning something coated with E-Tex this am and came home to find it in the 6 o’clock position. E-Tex had slid south a bit. Motor stopped its turning. Would like a motor that keeps the revolutions going, not stopping after so many minutes and goes to an oscillating mode. Thanks for your help. bhw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I just use a universal rotisserie motor for a grill... Similar to this one... https://www.amazon.com/Onlyfire-Universal-Electric-Replacement-Rotisserie/dp/B00X7RKCC4/ref=asc_df_B00X7RKCC4/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167141575819&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8182287484543809282&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016908&hvtargid=pla-310193723177&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 That is the lowest $$ I have seen. My Linde or Lunde is working again but goes 180 then reverses. I don’t recall that happening before. And it has been several years since made a wood bait and used my setup. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Any other methods you pros use when needing to turn an E-Tex’d lure??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Going to take my motor to an electrical shop soon to see if it can be changed so it never stops and reverses. Found a stainless motor on line but in only does 2.5-3 rpm. Too slow?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Can’t find any motors locally. I made a maple wood fender I soaked and bent for my recumbent trike and wanted to protect it with E-Tex. Old epoxy too. Working in basement where it is cooler but I’m sure the humidity is high. Used a torch to expell the bubbles and it really turned out well for the age of the ET. Going to do wife’s fender next. I have to round edges more so epoxy doesn’t pull away.

finlander Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Forgot to mention I’m just flipping maple fender over every few minutes and reclamping in to work bench. One end of piece is still raw. That is where I clamp and maybe it will set up quickly. A long time ago someone here flipped this lures after coating, hanging by screw eyes in the nose n tail.

mark poulson Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 When I used E tex epoxy, I had to turn my lures on my BBQ motored ferris wheel turner for 8 hours, to keep it from sagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 My second coat has firmed up already so it’s not sagging. ( I had better go check it ). Years back after stirring a & b I would let it sit for a bit before brushing it on. Maybe it’s age has something to do with it. I still have an unopened box of E-Tex that was priced at HobbyLobby from 2009. Do t know the mfg’d date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braided Line Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Some hobby shops carry small motors. As noted by others, I have adapted an old grill motor and it did the job. Great for a stand-by but there are better small motors available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Thanks. Just checked it again and epoxy is dry, not tacky. Now I can coat her fender after woodburning a name onto the maple. This sets up so fast that a motor is not needed yet. Cooling off here behind front with less humidity. Wonder if that will change the dry times? Wait n see. Have a guud one.
