Finally got around to installing my front end. Dressing the seams I ran into several significant air pockets as well as many large pockets of the soft clay like stuff that is apparently used in the construction process.
This material was just under the Gel Coat and in some spots was pretty deep. Photos show the worst area about an inch around and 3/16" deep.
The main body seams were not nearly this bad although I did run into a few small pockets and quite a bit around the hood latch areas.
If this stuff is not removed it will eventually "print" though your nice new paint job.
Can all be remedied by re-glassing the ground out areas but an issue that shouldn't exist and will be hidden unless you look for it.
Be very interested in any info on what this material is and how it is misused in the assembly process causing this issue.
