So I have a beat up rollergames that needs new insert decals, which means it needs to be clearcoated. Ill be getting a proper setup someday, but until then im limited to a small corner of a basement, and outside. This stuff seems like the way to go, but im worried about contamination. Id have to do this outside, I don't have the space to build any kind of safe, properly ventilated spray chamber. If I did this on a sunny, 60+ degree day, other than good spraying technique what should I do to ensure decent results? Surely not everyone in this thread has access to a temperature controlled cleanroom...

Id bring it to an autobody shop, but the waterslide decals need to go on after the first light clear, so id end up going twice, and probably end up paying way more than is necessary. Thoughts?

I have a respirator, goggles, gloves, etc. I have asthma so I wouldnt screw around with fumes even if this stuff werent so nasty, just no indoor space to do it. I saw someone use a canopy and tarps, I could probably make that happen. many have posted that spraying when its too cold gave them microbubbles, do we still not know the best temp for this stuff?

After buffing.

Its now back together, its been about a
12 days since I sprayed, and my new pinballs are leaving subtle scratches on the finish, should I wait longer before playing or is this normal?

I would have left them on if I never intended to take them off again. Wood looks good with clear on it

Not my first time using SM2K, but first time in this specific situation so Id like some advice. I'm making a new Whitewood / playfield for my homebrew game. This playfield is NOT the final one, so perfection is not required. However, I am bringing it to Expo in Chicago. (73 days away but who is counting) I need to start reassembly as quickly as possible in order to be ready for the show. Assuming the game will not be actually played for ~5 weeks, how long would you let it cure before putting it back together? Really just need to avoid catastrophic / gameplay ruining failure. Most of the information in this thread is about long term perfection. Curious to see what people think when speed is the goal.
