I need help! I'm building a Billings Smit London, wooden hull that I put epoxy on. I finally got to paint her and used acrylic spraypaint. It was hot and sunny the days I painted her and everything seemed to be in order. My problem now is that the paint hasn't cured. Still after a month I can put a nail in the paint and it leaves a mark, the mark dissapears later. I tried to put her out in the sun to see if the heat would make a difference but then there came small bubbles in the paint at two spots so I rushed in again. It seems to me as the underlaying coats never cured enough even though it seemed so to me, I could sand it lightly between paints. Will this cure over time or is it wasted? IF I have to remove all this paint and start over, how do I do that? What solvent can be used to remove paint that doesn't damage the epoxy?
Hope someone can help me, feel a little bit sad right now. The boat rests up&down in the basement until further notice.
All the best.
Hama.
