Orange Peel

Orange peel presents as a wobbly, yet relatively smooth surface (like a fine sandpaper) that appears on the surface of the casting. This defect indicates that either the casting skin was destroyed by excessive shot blasting or the wax pattern was over-etched, giving it a wobbly surface.
