    Ok up to page 10.

    A few notes.

    The peeling or flaking of the coatings is really "de-lamination" and it occurs when the bloom or mold release reduces adhesion of the coating to the part. One way to combat this with paints or laminating products is to abrade the surface of the substrate (cladding). It increases the surface area and adds angles of adhesion.

    While heat and ozone contribute and accelerate the leeching. They are not the cause. The parts will bloom in a temperature controlled closet. I promise.

    I think I will try and get ahold of some of my old coworkers. they may have a line of some stuff not commonly available.
