The humidity in your spray booth can throw off a blend more than people realize. If it's too high, the base coat can dry unevenly and cause that haze you saw. I bet you were so focused on the gun settings that you forgot to check the room temp and moisture. A quick look at a hygrometer before you start saves a lot of rework later. It's one of those dumb little things that gets overlooked when you're in a rush. Pretty much every time I've seen a weird finish, it was because someone ignored the environment.

Isn't it funny how some foods just get better with time? I had a jar of homemade pickles that sat forgotten for almost a year, and they were perfectly crisp. @emery_black, your point about the cold pausing things rings true, since my fridge must have been just cold enough to keep them safe. Honestly, neglect seems to be the key for a lot of fermented stuff, as long as it's sealed up tight.

Wait, you check the hourly forecast MULTIPLE times a day? How many is multiple, like are we talking social media scrolling levels of checking? That's next level, I just look at the little sun icon on my phone and call it good.

Can't believe that held, @derek_bailey84's soda can fix sounds just as bad.
