The areas you mentioned of the fuselage, that have a web-like appearance could
be caused by shrinking paint/filler, or in the worst case, by impact damage to
the sandwich leading to the collapse of the thin foam core. 
For this case, there are instructions in the mail list somewhere. 

A simple and effective way to look through it is to do just that, with a strong
(cool) light placed on the inside of the fuselage. 

Enjoy,

for working with as it pertains to the Europa.  I would like to learn about
this stuff and unfortunately the best way I learn is hands on and by making
mistakes.  Not on the airplane in this case, but practicing on the "bench".
