I am looking into buying a dyer in the next couple of weeks. I see the range from 2 rpm to about 18 rpm. (maybe they go higher I'm not sure) What is considered an ideal speed for drying. I don't know if it makes a difference but I use flex coat lite finish. Thanks.

I had an 18, and couldn't use it to apply finish at all, so I got a 4 rpm, and it is just a tad too slow - I think a 6 or 8 would be just right. Re: ideal drying speed

Some people put it on with 100 RPM. 18 is average. Re: ideal drying speed

I use two now, I have an 11 and a 6, I apply the finish on the 11 rpm, but now as I'm using High build finish I prefer the 6 rpm for drying as it has a less tendency to football the finish. Re: ideal drying speed

I got mine off @#$%& for like 14 dollars. It's a 12 RPM and it's perfect for applying finish and drying. I just wish it had an on/off switch. I'm going to put an inline switch in I think. Oh, it's also got a clutch that when you stop it by hand it changes direction. Bill in WV Re: ideal drying speed

I apply finish while rod is on separate non-powered rollers. I just spin the rod rapidly by "wiping" my L hand on it - I am holding the brush with R hand. Once finish is applied I move rod over to one of two 18 rpm dryers - you know the standard flex coat dryers. I find can I control the rod better if I turn by hand in this manner. I also have a "powered" finish machine made out of an old clemens lathe head - spins plenty when I press the pedal, which I rarely do because again I spin the rod manually. It also begins to sling finish wildly if I spin it too fast....
