I found it today. Sprayed 1 med-light coat epoxy reduced 10% on a pickup bed with 3 day old epoxy with a few minor filler spots and 2 sand throughs on edges. Waited 2 hours and sprayed Turbo reduced with 895, waited 7-8 minutes, primer was completely flashed (too much), mixed more Turbo (28oz) reduced with 895 and an ounce of retarder and applied second coat. Got to the very end and noticed some random spots going crazy, not lifting, but reacting. Temperature in booth was over 100, and the spots laid down where you could not feel them ( I ran my hand over it after 5 minutes, felt like it was ready to sand). I know everything has a recoat window, and I guess I found it. Use to have this problem with SW P30 in the summer, had to recoat within 2-5 min or it would go crazy sometimes, look just like this Turbo did today, but worse. I think it will be fine, but I'll find out Monday.

It seems like everything I've had lately is large, and the heat just keeps getting earlier every day. One day last week the low was 81 and the dew point was 78, and by lunch heat indexes were already 105. Definitely pushing the limits of the materials, filler to clear. I just took in a VW Super Beetle that will be a little easier with the smaller panels, and being a solid green I can paint it in pieces, unlike the silver, 2 tone, and 3 stage vehicles I've had lately
