What went wrong here
I tried for the 1st time yesterday the HOT STUFF manifold dressing material. The outcome was very poor.
I cleaned throughly with a wire brush then also wped down with Acetone
I applied a thin coat with a tooth brush and allowed to dry outside for 2 hrs. Car is not able to be started so I placed in a 275 degree oven for 1 hour.
once removed there were several raised bubbles and the finish that peeled right off in many places.
Any idea's on what went wrong?

I just did mine with the same bubbles after heating. I think in my case I put too thick of a coat in some places. I just cleaned them up with a red scotch pad and put on a second coat which turned out well.
