So I'm in the process of building a rod dryer. I currently have a 5-6 RPM motor with a 1" pulley on the shaft connected to a 5/8" pulley (making it 8-10RPM roughly) with a belt for the drying process. I was wondering how many RPM's would be ideal to apply epoxy at, so I can run a dual pulley system and just switch the belt around when needed.

I applied and dried at 18 rpm for years.  Now that I got the power wrapper, I apply at ??40-200?? And dry at 10.  Now the 18 rpm seems brutal when I have to use my old motors.

What are the benefits of applying at such high RPMs?  I think I'd end up making a mess if I tried to go that fast.

clean, straighter edges are the biggest benefit.   It doesn't throw finish around like you think.

I'll have to give it a try.
