My own thoughts remain that the curing chemicals were improperly mixed/applied. The evidence of this is that new bubbles are still appearing, and the bubbles that have been there for the last month are getting larger. This, to me, means that the curing agents are still evaporating; the gel coat still hasn't fully cured 10 months after being applied.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert in any type of gel coat, paint, chemicals, or similar application. My thoughts on this are strictly based on internet searches. It is entirely possible that the heat/humidity in my area is causing the protective layer failing... I just find this unlikely.
I very much hope I'm the only customer of theirs that is having this issue. Keep an eye on yours just in case though.

Where do you live that has climate that they can't build a defect free part? Seems like it would have to an extreme climate to blame the problems on the weather.
