After applying the second coat of Flex Coat Lite to a ferrule wrap and turning it overnight, it has a slight bulge on one side of the cured finish (it looks like I let it sag a bit while it was curing). I'm hesitant to use a razor blade (as I would use to remove a finished guide wrap) for fear of cutting into the blank. As I see it, my options are: heat and (very carefully) cut off the wrap with a razor blade, re-wrap and re-finish, or grind the bulge down with a Dremel or file, then apply a thin coat of Flex Coat. I could live with the second option, if then finished wrap comes out symmetrical. Any suggestions?

I need to add that I don't have a lathe. I just have a 5 rpm turning motor.

Try 220 than 400 sandpaper on a piece of flat wood or your file, no need for anything but hand turning. A file or Dremel will leave scratches in the Flexcoat you'll see later, I'd give the finish a couple days to cure or the finish will not sand smoothly. It will "pill" , come off in little balls instead of fine dust.

I would also up your turning speed. That is probably why it saged. To slow and gravity pulled on the finish. Or put less on and do more coats
