RWB Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 The roughness resulted from failure to correctly fill the small MM. When a large MM was punched, it stressed the repair and it began to deteriorate -- kind of like a bad tooth filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
