                • Is there something that I can coat the inside of the spinner to protect the plastic from locktight?

                  • Maybe liquid metal

                    • Nothing I know of, what most guys do is use foam tac. Others CA. But lock tight is just a plastic killer

                                          soak in acetone overnight, then wipe off with a rag and let dry for about 10 to 20 min.
