Hi Guy,
I got your photos posted, had to do a little repair with my web page
software after the last Windows update. Here are the images:

I see the same thing on component edges sometimes. It's like the UV tracer
in the coating thins out or separates out and under UV light it looks like
there's no coating. We've got stuff kicked from a customer for this
problem. If I can find the photos I'll post mine...
