Heating Epoxy

Dear List I would like to share some thing that I wish I had discovered earlier I finished a second stripper in summer with high humidity and got a very disapointing milky effect on the second coat which got worse the more I tried to fix it.This I now know to be due to moisture trapped in the resin.The cure I found is to heat the resin with a heat gun as you apply the second coat.It works and the resin also flows like water .I hope this helps someone from avoiding this irratating side effect. Thanks Phill
