I May be off base here, or saying something everyone knows,
but, in case...

	Some coatings do not 'dry' immediately.  Can take LOTS of time
	(up to days) to completely 'dry'.  In many cases, there is more
	to 'drying' than evaporation of solvent (drying), but fairly
	complex chemistry goes on (mostly polymerization).  Some of
	these reactions take time.  An added layer, added too soon,
	can 'trap' vapors still working out from an (apparently)
	'dry' underlayer.   Or solvent can leech back down in...
