Location: Central Wisconsin | I am looking to put some reflective tape on some blades and wonder if putting a fine layer of epoxy over to help keep the tape on the blades. Would this throw off how the blade spins? Has anyone tried this before? I havn't seen a windowmaker in person but looks like they do something similar?

Location: SE, WI. | IMO; I would not put a thin layer of clearcoat on blade. Maybe just line the outside of the tape with a bit of Superglue. Most times the reflective tape stays on pretty secure. JD |

Location: Central Wisconsin | Thanks for the imput. That sounds like a better idea. I was thinking about it and It would of been real hard not to get bubbles. I will go the super glue route. |

I painted the blades with Createx paint and I put several layers of Nu Lustre 55 to protect the paint. So far, it is very resistant [IMG]http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr31/Yvon371/IMG_0654.jpg[/IMG] |

Location: Québec, Canada | if you put too much epoxy on the blades, it will affect the action of thin blades.
when I put epoxy on the leaves, I used a foam brush and I give only a very thin layer. I give 4-5 layers of the ways and for the last layer, I heat the epoxy with a heat gun to get a smooth surface.
my bucktail works very well and I have no problem with overweight. |
