George I'm having the fish eye problem too. I end up going back and putting more on to cover them up but then it gets too heavy. Rather than putting them on my spinner I did a few small batches where I just hung them in my heat box and flipped them a couple of times and atleast that way all the excess drips off.

I usually warm up my plugs and the epoxy before applying it but tonight I tried it cold just to try it, but it didn't make much of a difference.
