Quoted from Atari_Daze:Use a pipe wrench and really torque the sections together.
I used brute strength and body weight and leverage to get them as tight as possible.
The pipes are locked in place, the issue is the 1/2 pipe turning inside the 3/4" pipe...The screw-down tightening as enough play that it wiggles a bit. I need to think of a way to improve that connection.
Quoted from Atari_Daze:Ah, yes. I used 3/8 bolts on mine, again torque quite significantly. Almost wished I had used 2 bolts per!
I tried making a hole for the carriage bolt to notch into, but that actually made it worse. Don't do that. It would only work if the 1/2 pipe was "seamless" into the 3/4" pipe, which it's not.

Quoted from crashpad:What do people do to cover the ends of the rotisserie to help protect from sharp edges?
I filed them, but thought there may be a good solution to capping them off.
One possibility would be to use some of the foam weather stripping, adapting a small piece to put on the ends, but that would be kind of clunky and I'd prefer something like a rubber foot like you use to protect flooring.

I sprayed mine with plasti-dip, and it worked great for one use, but the stuff is too easy to peel off.
