Tub for Spinner?
« on: January 22, 2005, 03:52:47 AM »
I'm going to order myself a spinner in the near future. This will be my first experience with one. Some time ago someone had said they had found the perfect tub for a spinner. Does anyone remember what it was or does anyone have any suggestions? I was considering the Innovative 2 speed model and noticed that you can buy it already attached to a plastic sink. I guess this would be fine if you never planned to move it but I would like it to be portable to take to my kids tournaments. Also I was wondering if anyone had suggestions about what kinds of sanding and polishing products to buy along with the spinner(cabs and sanding grits,polishes and cleaners etc.) Was wondering about what was successful for you? Thank you for any help,it is greatly appreciated.

                                   Thanks,
                                   Mike E

I have my Innovative in a rubbermaid tub - measures 21 1/2 wide by 16 1/2 tall by 15 1/2 deep.
Fits great, works better than the splash guard. I cut a hole in the corner for the cord - put the lid on it, it goes anywhere!

I seem to remember someone using a large flower pot...cutting the bottom out of it and placing it over the cup of the spinner...  really, anything of the sort will work... just to keep from making a mess everywhere

Mike E -- Depends to some extent on what type of work you're going to do.  For simple surface adjustments you can get by with a selection of ScotchBrite pads (maroon, green, gray, and white covers most of the range of grits) and wet/dry sandpaper, ball cleaner, some Black Magic polish, and a couple of polishes of various grits (of your choice of manufacturer).  If you're going to set up in bowling centers, bring a spray bottle for water and whatever tub you choose, cut cardboard to extend the height so it won't spray sanding sludge on the floor.  If you want to get into refinishing or plug sanding, you'll need at least one CAB and a selection of sandpaper grits for it.  --  JohnP
