Need help clear coating blades

How are you stopping the clear from bulging at the bottom of the blade? Do you rotate them?

If you are referring to epoxies, I do the concave side first, and lay the blade flat, then I do the convex side after the first side has cured. I powder paint many blades and then clearcoat them, and I have never seen a performance difference. The only thing that happens when you clearcoat blades with epoxy, the blades get heavier. I take many of my blades and watch them spin effortlessly in clear water, with no problems. Also when I slow roll my spinnerbaits, I see the blade start to spin right away without a problem. Below are a couple of blades I powder painted and then clearcoated, they work just fine on the spinnerbait it is attached on.

 

BTW thanks to smalljaw for his wire form locking tutorial for bearing swivels on spinnerbaits.
