Solved is a bit optimistic.
Likely I have reduced the problem. Due to Lead chemistry, the CO2 trapped at time of casting will continue to eat away at the minis (very small but Lead Carbonate expands and will cause ruptures of the paint) and no way to know if my epoxie sculpt trick will make the minis air-tight (perhaps, maybe, should, could, somewhat) and prevent CO2 from reacting with the mini.
