I think he means that he doesn't see what's wrong with the emblems. I sure don't. They look terrific.

Check the first pic:

- on the first one, theres too much resin on the D

- on the second one, the resin covered a part of the M it shoulnt cover, same thing on the Z

- on the third one, a bit of the D is without resin.

- on the forth one, the resin ruined some parts of the decal. Maybe it was too hot

I'm sorry, I'm a bit ignorant on this part. What does resin look like? A fine white powder or something?

I think that he is taking about the grey part. Notice that some of the holes for the different letters are filled in more, others are not.

Anyway, I still think they look great even though they are not perfect. You'll get the process perfected I bet.

Yeah, my front plastic emblem broke off in pieces, so I ended up removing the rest and filling in the area with a black paint marker.

You should sell those 'failures' and make more. There is a lot of interest.

When you have to point out the problems because no one is seeing it you probably shouldn't Seriously though they look good, you should sell them!

Put me down for 2 or 3 as well. Those "failures" look great. Bump for a perfectionist!
