Origin and Potential Causes:

· Wrong activator.
· Incorrect mixing ratio.
· Heavy application.
·Incorrect reducer or activator for spray conditions.
· Poor drying conditions: too humid, insufficient air flow or ventilation. · Insufficient flash off time between coats.
· Use of non-system activators or reducers.

Prevention Techniques:

· Use recommended system activators and reducers, per the Technical     Data Sheet.
· Apply recommended film thickness.
· Allow sufficient flash off time between coats.
· Improve spraying and/or drying conditions.

Remedy:

   Place the vehicle in a warmer, more ventilated area. The drying process may be accelerated           with the application of heat and improved airflow.
