The sand blasting must have caused a bubble to form on the grip, so you might see a little lump, which also resulted a lump forming in the inside as well. Took a long time to sand it down so the mags will go in. None the less, amazing job |
The bubble could not have been formed by the stripping process. In my experience with this stuff (and with Dave's process), it was likely caused during the heating process of the re-colouring, after the powder coat was applied.
There was probably a bubble within the cast itself. When heated, the bubble expanded.
I once had Dave re-colour a cast frame for me, and the front end of it practically melted during the oven phase. :P
