rockdog23 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I went to Wally World and bought the standard rotisserie motor for my drying wheel. When I timed it the motor turns at 2 RPM (makes no noise at all). I am using devcon for my clearcoats, is this speed too slow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjbass Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Because of the nature of devcon setting up fairly quick, I would think that 2RPMs is too slow. You would probably get sags. All of my drying motors turn at 6 and I use devcon exclusively. Try it and see what happens is the real way to test it. Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullin8s Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I think it would do fine, my motor is very similar in speed as long as the bait is moving for the first 15 minutes and not sitting with one end down i think you'll be fine.

BobP Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I think 2 rpm will do OK on unthinned Devcon Two Ton. But IMO it's too slow for thinner clearcoats like polyurethane or Etex Lite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure--Prof Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 If it is the same motor I bought from wallyworld you'll have no problem with any of the clearcoats mentioned. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockdog23 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks for all of the input. The first batch on the new motor had some issues, looks like it was more of a user error issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lure--Prof Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Most "uneven" problems are caused by too much topcoat! Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
