Help- clear coat leaving small bubbles (bumps)
« on: October 21, 2010, 06:15:32 PM »
hey, i was working on my custom xbox 360 case when i was ready to clear coat. I clear coated it with about 3 coats and after it dried it left small bubbles (bumps) on the grey sections. It is really cold up north where i live so i was just wondering, why does this happens and what i can do to prevent it, oh and how to fix the small bubbles left after clear coat.
thanks some artistic advice would be appreciated.
