Need some advice on a vacuum bagging problem. It's more cosmetic than  
structural but I can't seem to get rid of the effect.

Just about every  time I bag a wing, I get what look like worm tracks on the 
surfaces. It's  primarily on the upper surface but sometimes shows up on the 
lower.

These are little sinuous tracks - indentations really - on the surface  that 
wander around for a few inches. Looks just like what you'd see if you split  a 
piece of wood and it had been internally munched by some critter. Maybe 1/32  
to 1/16 inch deep and 1/8 inch wide. I usually get one or two of them per  
session. Just enough to uglify an otherwise nice finish.
 
Using Foamula 250 and an ACS bagging system/pump. West Sytems with 205  
hardener. Light glass and carbon (DLG wings).

I thought it was trapped air and have been rolling from the edge to get rid  
of it but that doesn't work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Could  this just be a bad batch of foam?
