That might have been an anomaly, as I've hadn't experienced that
anywhere and am about done with glassing.  But plausible due to it's
thickness (Aircraft Spruce's stuff is 1.7 oz., but n/a in 1" rolls
last I looked).  If you're referring to the part of the flange that
will later accept a hinge (or anything one wants to cure flat), I
added a layer of poly film and a strip of aluminum from the scrap box,
lightly clamped if appropriate.  Now I see why it seemed to make sense
at
the time!
