Sealing a shell 2hrs after painting it is nowhere near enough time in my opinion. After I have painted a shell it sits on a low heater for several hours or even overnight in winter time. It will then sit another day on the side before getting sealed. In hot summer, the heater isn't quite as necessary but the shells still sit for a couple days minimum. Especially when solvent paints are involved as they do dry quickly but then continue to air off solvents for sometime after this.
Nitroblock and enamel clears are quite hardcore and so a good coverage of waterbased paint is recommend before applying those types of things.
Have a practice on a scrap of lexan before applying it to a project.
You will get the hang of things soon buddy.
