    Default bubble in clear coat

    Hey guys

    I just noticed that I have a bubble in the clear coat - only a small area, about 30mm x 10mm. It doesn't seam to have broken open yet.

    Is there anything I can do to stop it getting worse & prevent it peeling?

    Thanks

    Yes , this is a very difficult proccedure but with a bit of care u should be able to handle it . Tools required are a syringe with a very fine needle , some clear coat ( if you have some clear nail polish that will do the job ), turps and a good clean rag . Now fill the syringe with a little clear , if it has trouble getting in the syringe thin it down a little ( if your using nail polish , remover will do this ) . now very gently right on the edge of the bubble inject it with the clear . now using the clean rag wet with turps ( not soaking just damp ) push the bubble down and squeeze out excess clear ,once u have cleaned up the excees paint you will have to hold the bubble down with ur finger till the paint drys , usually how long you have to wait for nail polish to dry . once that is done polish the area an you should hardly be able to notice it
