CAUSE

REMEDY
A Sometimes strong solvents tend to react with the preceding coat. Also air or gasses in film can be trapped as it dries due to temperature, air movement or fast solvents being used. Be sure that the undercoats are thoroughly dry. Use recommended primer. Use thinner with weakest solvent strength which will still act as a steady diluent. If you are using heat lamps or oven drying, be sure adequate flash off time is used before putting finished part in oven.
B Butyl cellosolve used as a retarder Butyl cellosolve is a heavy solvent. If too much is used, it will sink to the bottom of the film. If top of film skins over before complete film drying, then solvent pop can occur.
