i just use my finger instead of a stick or nail or whatever. takes about 20 seconds to do a 3 band wrap.

ok,,,,i guess i wasn't clear. due to limited space, i am looking for a SINGLE ROD dryer.
Forum: rodboard

ok......i'm lazy. but i also have limited bandwith each month so its easier to ask than search and use it up. i am looking for a rod dryer that mounts on the wall, similiar to the FC pro 4 rod dryer. a single rod dryer is fine. why wall mounted? space. i run finish at a fairly fast speed and want to pop it out and pop it into the dryer and carry on with another. thanks

i always let it turn a min. of 12 hours. overkill maybe but what else has the rod got to do with its time?
Forum: rodboard

well......you gals were right on again. just ran some finish on the latest build and stayed usable right up to the end. one more coat tomorrow and that ones a goner. was 89 deg in wrapping room but the aftcote worked great. thanks

worked like a charm! on my renzetti i now have a foot controlled variable speed wrapper, constant speed finish applier, and dryer, the speed of which i can set. rheostat cost $30 on amazon delivered.

8 oz. bottles ordered. thanks.
Forum: rodboard

thanks. i looked at 3 other suppliers i buy from and didn't find it. amazing how lazy the internet has made me. i order from mudhole all the time.
Forum: rodboard

exactly. i could do away w/the foot pedal for applying finish at a higher rpm then simply dial it down for drying. then when i want to wrap, take off the rheostat and add the foot pedal. at least, thats the plan.
Forum: rodboard

i HOPE i am not hijacking this thread but i have a similar concern. on my renzetti, i have started applying finish at a high speed (to me anyways) with the foot control. however its a hit and miss thing. i need a constant steady speed, independant of my foot. tell me about the "speed control" mentioned above please. is this a rheostat? thanks

Forum: rodboard

thanks for all the replies. rather than addressing all the responses individually i will just have at it. cooling the room is not an option. its small, 8'x20', brick, and a metal roof. the only way to further cool it would be a very expensive portable AC and my electric bill is already thru the roof trying to keep it liveable. people laugh when i tell em i water down the house/roof everyday arou

i know this topic has probably been beat to death but after running 2 searchs i came up empty handed. here in south texas it ain't exactly cold. the felt temp. was 118 deg. the other day. my rod building/reloading room stays at around 90 deg. despite two fans. i put some D2 finish on some thread today and it got gooey in a hurry. had to do two batches to finish a 7.5' rod. after it was on i thinn

i am on my 4th wood lathe, having downsized from a full size to a midi over the years. i also have a renzetti. there is no way a renzetti can be used as a wood turning lathe, unless you only use it for sanding small light pieces. i just finished two grips, a 10" and a 12" in from wood, both in a tri color indian blanket design. i'm certainly no expert, but having turned pens, bowels, pe

Forum: rodboard

1. where do you get threaded on the ends mandrels? other than allthread or pen making mandrels. 2. if i'm reading this right, if i am making a grip with 12 cork rings, i would need to make 12 bushings?
