A coating assembly for applying a coating to an optical waveguide fiber includes a guide die having a guide die land region (48), a sleeve for containing pressurized coating material (34), a sizing die (38), and a cooling mechanism (40) operatively associated with the guide die to cool the guide die so that a temperature of the pressurized coating material in an area adjacent the guide die land region is lowered. Maintaining the coating at a relatively cool temperature reduces the likelihood of coating flood. |
