Hi Steve,

A picture IS worth a thousand words, this does not look like ours.  Our
'print-thru' areas are exact replications of the glass bonded to the
other (inside) side of the skin.  Yours seems more like ripples in the
fuselage.  I haven't seen anything like it before.

regards,
Terry

Terry :

I have seen what you are talking about,  this seems  to be a little more
extreme,  I have attached a photo.

        Hi Steve,
         
        I believe what you are seeing is what I have been calling
print-thru, not heat/expansion related.  Print-thru happens on foam
cored surfaces that have something glassed to its back, like the fiber
glass reinforcing for your fuel filler neck.  As your plane ages, you
will find more print-thru on the fuse and wings.
         
        regards,
        Terry Seaver
