Finished it up today, 250 watt bulb, will get to 100 degrees, controlled on a dimmer switch and has a small fan to keep the heat circulating. Was a fun project, will expedite the building process.

let me know what you think,

Nice build. Should work well. Don't know for sure but 100 degrees may be a little much. I would think 75 to 80 would be plenty. Anyway, very nice project. Hope you wasn't remodeling the wife's furniture.

Very Nice! I would agree that might be a little warm but you can probably just go to a lower wattage bulb. The only thing I would add is a ventilation tube to move the fumes outdoors. Great job! You could easily sell those if you wanted to.............let me know, I will be your first customer.

Nice unit, I like that you can watch the baits turn around. It would make a great lure display at a show as well. Very mesmerizing. Maybe a tray for the bottom to catch extra epoxy and keep it clean looking?

WOW! That is a very nice set up. I only have a single wheel but that works perfect for me but doesn't look nearly as pretty. Well thought out. I need to install a light bulb in mine considering my basement is so cold in the winter (once the fishing season starts, lure making stops).

With my drying wheel I never get any dripping. That's the purpose of it; any one lure is never in the same position long enough to allow the epoxy to drip. Unless I'm missing something.

That really looks nice. Looks like you really spent some serious time making it. Now you need to fill it up ad show us what it looks like filled up with future muskie slayers!

Awesome job! Now thats something we all on here need! Nicest one I have ever seen! I am sure you could make a few $ selling them. Very nice! Makes my set up look horrible!

Well thought out, and you really did a nice job. What do you use to attach the baits with? I also agree that a hose and suction fan would be something that I would add myself. You get 5 stars from me.
