otsismi Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 I've been trying out different fluid bed dipping methods for coating a small spinner blade. I am having trouble getting an even coat, a thin coat, or keeping the coat from chipping at the eye hole of the blade since the wire holding the blade also gets coated. I've also noticed that the coat at the bottom of the blade is much thicker because it spends more time in the powder. If the blade gets too hot, the coating is super thick and will affect the spin performance. If it's not hot enough, you won't get even coverage. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting an even, thin coat on small spinner blades using the fluid bed method? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Master Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 It is hard to get good consistent results. Read some of the posts here. (post 18 & 20?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Any blades I've powder coated came out much heavier that the original. I use blade dip now, or sharpies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishon-son Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 if you want a thin coat use a make up brush load it up with paint and tap it over a hot blade little at a time on the tapping ...i do this with 1 oz jigs also for 3 or 4 color jig heads use the round 3/4 inch brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
