yanks21 Valued Member United States 277 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 7:55 pm I don't think I ever typed the word Squiggly before. Anyways I noticed this line in the neck area. It reminds me of when some lint gets in some wet paint. Does anyone know what this can be? Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
