<DIV>Hi Jon -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I haven't run into anything like that before, but sanding off the =
blisters
seems like the right first step. I would also <STRONG>thoroughly
</STRONG>clean the sanded finish with naptha before recoating. </DIV>
<DIV>Shellac is what I would use, too, but a good vinyl sealer would work =
well,
too, I would think. With the shellac, I would apply the equivalent of=
at
least a 2 lb. cut for a good barrier. </DIV>
