The top layer hardens, traps the solvents underneath, and then—boom—you&rsquo;ve got bubbles or the whole thing just peels off. It&rsquo;s frustrating and wastes a lot of money. We fix this using medium-wave infrared (MWIR) lamps. Think of it this way: short-wave lamps hit the surface like a hammer. They&rsquo;re fast, but they don&rsquo;t go deep. Medium-wave is different. It actually sinks into the coating.</p>
