Apparently this occured during the shipping but the package was ok and I suspect others reasons :

- Could it be due to the fact I left the gel coat (EC GC50) cure too long (more than 24hrs), causing delamination ?

- Or would it be because of the GC50 thickness (but does not seem too thick for me) ?

any other clue ?

feel bad right now Unsure 
frustrated cause the part was ok when I sent it.

Ha Ha, sorry business is businessSmile You will very soon get things working correctly, believe me," been there done that." But when everything "clicks" there is no greater satisfaction (well maybe there is BigGrin) than pulling a perfect part from a mould. Once you reach that stage it's easy Ha Ha.

Sorry meant to ask sooner, where about's in the world are you?
