I woder if that is a defect in the mold itself? In which case, exchanging it wont help anything.

Its definetely not a "sticker," lol, you can see the light reflecting off of the weave.

It looks like delamination to me. Poor adhesion of the top coat or coats to underlying coats. I am sure they will replace it.

And yet another reason why I stay the **** away from VIS. I have seen, and owned too many pieces of **** product from them. Sorry for your misfortune bro. Get them to replace or refund ya.
