# Edge peaking

**Raised board edges with associated finish failure along the seams, following movement the finish could not accommodate.**

Edge peaking pairs a dimensional problem with a finish problem: the board edges rise, and the finish film fails along the seam where it is stretched.

It is the fifth of the named failure modes, and like the others it is a record of a step skipped rather than a maintenance issue.
