How to resolve milky clear coat

[Natural Citizen]

I went out this morning and applied a couple of coats of clear coat on the hood of one of my cars.

Apparently it was a bit too humid.

What happens when you spray clear coat in higher humidity is it turns a milky white.

Really peed me off nice and good, too, because (1) I knew better, and (2) because of the particular car it happened to be. Shoulda just waited longer before going out there.

Anyway, here's a solution I found on Youtube. Works....

If it's summer time, just park the car outside on a bright hot day and let the sun clear it up.

Of course i was thinking of this milky clear coating. I am such a perv.

I love hot summer days when it comes to car washes.

Yeah, I suppose that would have worked, too. It's gonna be cloudy for a few days, though.

The heat gun worked. But it blistered a couple of spots. So have to wet sand, repaint and clear those spots again now.

Sun probably would have been better and saved me from having to do that.

Live and learn, I guess.

Heat also works to get rid of dried out plastic like on bumpers and side mirrors.
Pass a propane torch over it and done.
