Default What happened to the finish on mt AT-6 ?

i finished my byron at-6 last year , flew it a few times and once this weekend . it was HOT and humid also this weekend. Let me start by saying that i don't leave my planes uncovered out in the sun because dark colors get hot. After i flew the texan i took the wings off and started to pack up from the weekend when i noticed areas that was showing the construction through the finish. like where wood seams were etc. I used 3/4 oz. glass cloth , z-poxy finishing resin , klass kote primer and their epoxy paints . The finish was flawless , but now it looks terrible . even on the horizontal stabs you can see where i glued the tip blocks on because there's a seam line now as well as where the h. stab joins the fuse. and i even overlapped the glass cloth onto the fuse. also the dowel that holds the aileron control rod even can be seen now .Can anyone shed light as to why it happened and how to prevent it from doing it again?
