It's disappointing but I will be much more confident knowing that the painting will be done under the correct conditions of temperature and relative humidity.
In the meantime I have been working on some tasks that don't require any special conditions and aren't dependent on the final coat being in place.
The first of these was completing the seatback locker interiors.
Four coats of gloss had already been successfully applied so I prepared the interiors for their final coat.
Only the bottom, back and forward faces are visible and these were wet sanded with a P400 grit, as stipulated by Epifanes. Like this.
The rest of the interiors are not visible and are very hard to access so I just prepared them with a nylon abrasive pad.
Gloss was then applied by roller and brush and the visible surfaces tipped out.
For such a small area the humidity is not a factor, and the results were excellent.
This is the port locker.
They look great and on reflection it was easier to do this before the finish coat in the cockpit because there is no need to worry about paint drips and dribbles.
Something is at last completed!
