Tried a new seam sealer on a big job in Springfield and it bubbled up overnight

I used that QuickSet Pro stuff on a 20 yard seam in a living room, left it to dry for about 8 hours. Came back the next morning and the whole line had these little air pockets and felt tacky. I think the room was too cold, maybe 60 degrees. Has anyone else had this happen with a fast-drying sealer in a chilly house?

Bubbles are ugly, but it's probably still sealed.

The bubble is the whole point of a sealed vintage toy. That plastic blister proves it's factory fresh. A damaged bubble means air and dust got in. The seal is broken even if the cardboard backing is intact. A collector would call that an open item. The value drops hard without that perfect bubble.

What do you mean by sealed? If it's a collectible, the bubble could actually hurt the value even if it's never been opened.
