Hi ya,

I am an Aerospace Engineer working in a project, developing a electric super car and I am manufacturing car body panels using VARI process. 

Recently I have came a cross some complecations with the  panels that I have manufatured. (Please see the attcahed photos)

As you can see, there is a mist like marks in the corners for this front hood reinforced panel. I used gel coat on the mold.

Does anyone have any idea why I am getting these marks.

and any advise will be appriceated.

Kind regards.

It does look like bridging in those corners but a bit worse, maybe it has delaminated from the gelcoat or there is an actual air void under the gel.  Hard to tell without some bigger pictures.
