That's wild. They aren't on the pre-stitched pics, either. I had to clean the die in nitric acid, and I accidentally let it boil dry, but the top metal pic doesn't show obvious damage in that area. I've started agitating dies continuously while they are in Whink, so I reduced the amount of time I keep it in there, and I reduce the time more when I have to clean a die in nitric acid first. But it look like I need to reduce it even more.
