gtc:
You have a U2U message.
Scott:
I feel for you mate. Nothing worse than all that prep time wasted. Hopefully you get to the bottom of it all/
demonx:
Yeah - After a phone conversation with Stewart (a nsw club member) I reckon we threw out a few ideas that chances are where contributing factors.
I just have to be a bit more careful next time on a few points I may have been not quite so strict on. EG: I was using hardner and thinner rated at 15*-25* when the temp was probably 35* ... little things like that open up all kind of doors. I've used them before on hotter days and never had the trouble but it still doesnt rule it out. The possibility of a Prepsol cleaner contamination and I'm still trying to sort out my ventilation problem as the fans are just too damn expensive.
More updates to come.
P.S. Thanks Stewart for all your help the other night. I am most greatful.

The other half mentioned to me the other night that for my birthday next month she'll spring for a set of rear bumpers for me!!!!
I did a bit of research and decided I'm better off getting the old scummy ones repaired and rechromed.
I dropped them off today at Cruiser hot rod and smash repairs. $350 for them to straighten out all the bumper mounts that are squashed from a rear end smash. Straighten and repair the dings in the bumper and then rechrome.
This is the same place that I got to rechrome the windshield corver pieces and they came back pretty good.
Heres the before pics I snapped with my mobile onthe boot of my car before I dropped them off:
In a week he said they'll call me and i can try fit the bumpers after they repair/restraighten the mounts just to make sure they line up on my car correctly - then I can drop them back off and they'll be chromed.
I will post aftrer pics when they're finished.

Are they copper and nickel plating before chroming?
