Default Dick's Waves

When I refinished my wings did I try to correlate Johnssons waviness too surface roughness values (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_roughness) as I have access to that kind of measuring devices. But I never got it, surface waviness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waviness) is something else.

Another way to find divots and bumps and such is to shine a bright flashlight across the surface. Hold the flash light next to the surface, at almost 90 degrees. Those formerly invisible holes, scratches, bumps and divots will jump out at you.
