Thanks, Ed. Hard to say exactly what it reacted to -- I used the same paint that reacted before (though I hoped the clear coat would protect it - it might have made it worse). The clear coat dried in a low-humidity, open-air space for 4 days before epoxying and the paint dried for 24 hours after heat-setting before the acrylic coat.

Though I think it's more durable than E-Tex, it looks like S3CC is a better choice as a sealer for what I'm doing.
