Patrick- You have not given enought detail of the type of discoloration. Is it "white residue"? Can it be "rust" colored? Whatever it is, you fab supplier needs to be called in immediately and give you an exact reason for this failure. Just rubbing

Wister: Oooo, I understand now what you mean by "an open." Sorry, I was (am) a bit dense. Your hypothesis is reasonable. On the other hand, have you looked at the traditional causes of tomb stoning also? For a defect to be a "tomb stone," it doe
