Thank you Oleg for joining the public forum with this information. The bit
about digging fingernails into the wing skin hadn't made it into the public
domain until now. I agree completely that this could cause some significant
defects/dents in a HL wing.

Another point that should be added; If the dents are being made any time
after the wing is bagged, then they should steam out. If they were there
before or made during the cure cycle they probably wouldn't steam out. I
think that Dave may have said in an earlier post that some of the defects
did steam out.
