The photos show a "spinner" I built to get a smooth,glossy,hard epoxy coating on my pen barrels. Basicly it rotates the barrel while the epoxy is drying. The 8" diameter disc holds up to eight barrels and is driven by a 9 RPM 110v ac gear motor. The motor is wired to jog, to get the barrel into a conveient position for coating, or for running during thre drying cycle.The barrels are mounted on 3/8"dia X 3" long nylon bolts that are turned down to slide into the brass tube. The bolts are mounted on the spinner disc. I use EnviroTex pour-on high gloss finish available at Michealsor ac More. Drying time can be 4-8 hrs depending on room temperature and humidity.
