Downgrade* can include
- Dimensional, geometry or straightness inaccuracies – do not normally cause problems for DIY projects
- Colour variations or markings – for any aesthetic or UV applications we recommend painting.
- Weathered surface – needs some cleaning, sanding, buffing preparation to ensure good adhesion of paint.
- Dry fibre on inside (lessening the effective wall thickness) – minor cases do not significantly impact strength. Suitability depends on the application and severity of the defect. Mostly the inside will not be visible in final use – being covered by an endcap of some sort. Where present, this defect is normally noted in the catalogue listing.
- Grooving to outside or inside – does not normally impact strength, but can be noticeable after painting
- Scaling/ flaking of local resin areas on the inner or less often the outer surface. Can normally be scraped or sanded off.
- Misc processing defects can be present eg cracking, voids, blistering or lack of cure. – It is intended that materials are screened for serious defects of this nature, but slight occurrences may be evident.
