I have had this happen two to three years ago when I was first using U 40. Talked to someone who talked to Ralph OQuinn never got a clear response to what caused it. I have never nor would I ever added anything to any finish I was going to use. I used an alcohol lamp on flex coat for bubbles, and nothing when I used U40 and got cracks in both.

I have had the same crack in epoxy that Scott Gadsby has. I was told my wrap tention was to tight I don't believe this since I use the same tention on my guides. I was also told it was how I cut the wraps to blunt and sraight. I do tend to believe this more can anyone else help. I was told to cut the end of the wrap more unenenly and to comb it out like Doc Ski does on his vidio.
