I don't remember what all was argued in this thread, but my two cents is that I also have seen that water does evaporate out of a cured repair. Always.
That's why I have been able to re-do many repairs that were obviously done with water in the break. The cured resin is not vapor proof. Trapped H2O will escape, eventually.
Sometimes, there is still a grey area within the old repair that can't be cleared up because resin can't penetrate it fully. The moisutre can definitely affect the resin in the break, but eventually it's gone, IMO.
And I see that the moisture affects the areas within the break, not just bleeding into the PVB. Often, I see old bullseyes that are not clear. It's not the area around the bullseye that's affected. (PVB)
To quote screenman... "Moisture is still the biggest enemy in screen repair.."
Absolutely.
