Quoted from uncivil_engineer:I will get my droppers out this evening. This method sounds like the best way to salvage the coating I have already put on.
BTW, this was not the first coat of clear I have put on this playfield. This was supposed to be my 3rd and final coat. None of the other coats have done this.
You shoulda mentioned this in your first post, I think it would have helped people pinpoint your problem and give better advice, after everything it definitely sounds like your clothes were contaminated but if you mean that it's been sitting for some time with the first 2 coats and now you've just applied the 3rd it could have also been in the air as many people suggest.
I hope the advice in this thread can help you salavage your work and help others down the line!
