I stand corrected on the crosslinking issue. I still think that for that
amount of globulating of the gum, it could not be fumes. Attacking the
surface of a coating enough to cause fog is one thing, but not turning a
bucket of the smooth runny stuff in to that thick stuff like, well you know
what I'm referring to.

As always Luis, your expertise is highly valued.
