Wiggles in the paint happen because the material that binds the cloth into a shape shrinks. If your body is a chopped fiber body, the shrinkage happens faster. This is because of the resin used to bind the material into a shape. The best bodies are multi layer, hand laid, fiberglass bodies. They do not shrink as fast. Usually hand laid bodies resin is of a non-industrial resin. It is the resin that shrinks between the layers of fiber cloth. The fiber-glass cloth does not shrink. If you have a "Chopped" Fiber-lgass body, the ripples show up faster. Remember that it is not the body shrinking, but the resin used to bind the fiber-glass into the desired shape.
