Hi Kenny
Is this a new product or an old one that has only now exhibited tis
problem?
Looking at the photo, I suspect the problem is related to the
reflective UV.
A suggestion, try warming the assembly to around 40DegC then spray
apply the coating. This "trick" can often overcome these issues
because the warmth of the assembly drives off the solvent faster than
the de-wetting forces. Don't make the assembly too hot, or you can
induce bubbles in the coating.
Hope this helps
Kindest regards
Graham Naisbitt
