This may be nothing, but I'm new to this, and after not seeing any signs of it on the parts on other builder's sites I thought I'd ask. While inventorying my Emp/Cone kit last night I noticed a bunch of the parts have score marks in the vinyl at the bend tangents. I'm not sure what caused them, but I peeled back the vinyl to see the effect on the aluminum underneath. Mostly, it appears to be concentrated adhesive making the marks (from the vinyl beeing squished/split?), but cleaning this away reveals some fine scratches (best case) and 'divots' in the metal (worst case).
Has anyone seen this before? I have contacted Van's and sent them the same pictures below. I'll post back when I hear something.
Just curious as to what others have experienced.
