Added 10 to 15% retarded to the clear then THIS happened. I tried to cheat the system instead of WAITING for a better, less humid day!
Your results may very but for my planes, it's not worth the RISK. 1st photo shows the paint crackling and the 2nd one shows the red BLED through.

I guess the retarder keeps the solvent from flashing off so it has more time to eat the decals?

Mr. Kevin,
I hate this happened to you. I have nothing constructive to say about your issue.
You build beautiful models, so I'm looking forward to seeing the completed airplane. Those graphics/colors pop!
