| Post subject: | Comp tip cracking |
I have searched the forums and have found a lot of useful information on comp tip problems and repair. I have a slightly different question then what has already been discussed. I just purchased my getaway (and loving life). I have spots on my comp tip that are cracking...horizontally. It appears that the prior owner may have damaged it in the Handling/storage as they do not appear to be stress related ( my assumption given they are horizontal and prior post on the subject). When I look into the mast thru the crack there appears to be a solid core. Does anyone know if the black outside is just a shell and therefore most of the support is provided for by the core versus the black shell. Is the black shell just a protective covering or does it provide something in the support structure. Thanks for any and all help. |

Yes, the outer black material is just cosmetic putty. Some vintages seem more prone to crazing (cracks). |
