They will work Depends on how you coat your wraps
I find a fast turner is good to apply finish It is quick Then let excess drip off and put on a slow speed
You can gear it and have two speeds One to apply finish and the slower one for drying

Doesn't take much power but needs to be capable of turning for a few hours at a time without overheating, etc.

I have been using the same microwave turntable motor I robbed out of a mirco wave in the trash 3 or 4 years ago. No issues here!
