The bubbling is the screening lifting off the primer.

This is a better close up of the main issue.

I cu the loose section out but tried to save the blue art beside the roll overs.I hope to get that settled back down.

The section removed will be set back in so the art can have a "blue print" to help me recreate it as well as fill

A very strong fusor type expoy with a very slow set is used to give the base of glue to reapply the bubbled section.

The section is put back in plce with some reliefs poked and cut out to make sure it locks in and bonds together.

A clear plastic is set on top ensure it only sticks to something that peels away easily and acts as a buffer between the

A transformer worked perfectly to weight the section overnight.

The expoxy has set up overnight fully weighted by the transformer.The section is flat.It still needs a lot of work but it

The previously applied clear is stripped off as much as possible to make certain that *if* it was the problem it will not b

Unmasked.That is about as far as this area goes until I get it perfectly smooth and all under one solid surface.

Before I clear it for the first time I will tighten up some of the borders and registration.The 3X is just an example of th

They are improved.It is a tough choice on a few of them.That choice is making them slightly out of round to cover the whit

Final border reworks in this area.The center arrows are the biggest improvement.

This clear will give me a good fill to work off of for the next round of repaints.

The level is fixed.The repaints can go from here .I will let it set a day or two before I consider it stable given the his

I let it set a long time so I could make sure it would not continue to raise.It did not.I had no problem with it so I have

The remaing shrinkage from the repairs has been filled.

Black refinished in the troubled area and a little registration work is done on the large lower insert.

I am going to put a blue print/background done for the volts that are damaged.This will not be the final version because I

I mixed something up that is close.It is not dead on yet because I know I will need to go back in it.

Unmasked.The voids are from the lack of coverage with this color over the straight black areas.It is just a guideline right

Ready to put a light coat of clear down.It is just to finish sealing andf leveling the repairs so I can get a good repaint

Repairs cleared.

Should be ready for final reworks in a couple days.

Sanded once again and prepped for final repaints.
