Anyone else have problems with A.... T...... dryers. I have bought 3 of them over the last two years. Two of them have stopped turning during an overnight finishing causing problems with sagging epoxy. This occurred while turning the butt section of a surf blank. I am afraid to use them now. I contacted the manufacturer and was told they had a few other complaints of the same nature.

Don't be afraid What's A...T...
American Tackle ??

Are they going to fix them ???

I contacted the vendor who told me to call the manufacturer. They told me they would send me a new motor if I was handy enough to replace it. Then they told me to stress it with a large blank and let them know what happened. That was two weeks ago and I have not received anything. I wound up buying a different brand from a different vendor who delivered it in 36 hrs.

Buy a Flex Coat dryer and be done with it. The motors used are night and day between imported brands and US made products.

What do you do with large butt caps that don't fit in the Flexcoat or Batson rubber holes. Do you make diaphragms with larger diameter holes? The Am Tackle holder accepts larger butt cap diameters but also they can slip out unless taped to hold them.
