So I have had sealer/primer bubble up before, so I understand the danger I’m in.
Where we are at before today: steel door and fender. Chem stripped to
Bare metal and neutralized. Sealed with epoxy months ago. Scuffed and filler/bodywork conducted. Broke-through filler and sealer to base metal in some spots (pretty normal for me).
Today I prepped the panels for sealing the filler work. As I was spraying epoxy sealer, a freak thunder storm appeared above (odd for Los Angeles) and dropped maybe a dozen rain drops on my panel. I suddenly stopped, moved the panels under an awning, and blew the water droplets off. I finished sealing the panels and now I’m anxious. Do you think those few drops would have absorbed enough water to cause bubbling in the future? I’m kind-of stuck now… not sure what to do.
Help… I think I may have ruined my sealer job :(

As long as you're sure that you blew ALL the water off then you should be fine. Humidity doesn't affect epoxy to any great extent.

Ah ok thank you! Yeah I sprayed all the water off and waited a bit before reapplying. I was more concerned about the filler absorbing the water droplets, but I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Can I put the panels out in the sun with high-build primer tomorrow to help them cure? I don’t want to start blocking until it is fully cured. I have had issues in the past where low spots magically appeared |
