How long do you guys recommend spinning baits that have been coated with Envirotex ? Also how long do you let dry between coats. Do you spin them the entire time ? Thanks for the help

I have my wheel on a timer that I set for 8 hours. Not sure you need it that long, but I get good results at 8 hours and I'm not interested in experimenting to find the minimum time needed

In my limited experience it all depends on the ambient room temperature. The warmer the room, the less time it takes to dry. I've had it solid as a rock in as little as 6 hours, but that was during a 90+ degree day with them spinning in a closed garage. I've also had them take as long as a couple days to completely set up in a 55 degree basement in the middle of winter? So it's all relative.

I usually run them around 8 hours as well at 3-4 rpm. Sometimes I'll start them right before bed and when I get up, there ready for the next coat. MuskieMike is right about the temperature too. If I do baits in the basement, it takes almost a whole day longer to get them to harden up.
Have Fun!!!
