Hi DJ,
Another tip about sizing that I got from this list a while back is to apply it while the paper is still a bit damp (it is recommended to soak the paper first, to shrink it before sizing). I used to have a problem with the gum sticking to the sized paper, but this helped me to get a nice even coating of the sizing.

This fish-eye problem sounds like a different thing though.

Best Regards,
Laura
