Rather annoyingly, it turns out that the clearcoat has reacted with the stickers - I put the stickers on after the basecoat and put the clearcoat on afterwards. I've done this previously, on the Dawes and it was fine, but I think I put on the clearcoat too thick this time round. The clearcoat has also run along the edges of the stickers, which supports this theory. So I've removed the stickers, and I'll have to block sand the clearcoat back and respray it down the downtube. I've ordered some new stickers, but I think this time I'll put them on after I've done the clearcoat.
So the Planet X won't be coming on holiday next week to Gran Canaria - I'll have to take the Dentist's Chair instead, and finish off the Planet X when I get back. Such is life.
