We're doing our first hardtop and have apparently prepped the inserts poorly so far. I sprayed with clear, but it's crackled and cracked. It looks like maybe it was sprayed too thick? I used Krylon Triple Thick, which from what I understand is supposed to be a thick, "full wet" coat. I plan to just resand and maybe try sanding the inserts to a high grit and using Novus to polish. But any suggestions for next time? Was this just the wrong clear to use? (Just a note that I'm not up for using a 2-part automotive clear for this.)
