Strange Inconsistent Vertical Scars/Artifacts on Prints

These test prints on my Droplit have dotted scars or vertical lines all around them . I'm wondering the cause of this so I can fix this. Batman is about 40mm tall and the cube is 14mm.
Below are pics of the prints and my CW settings. I'm using a petri dish with QSIL 216 as a coating http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005RY ... UTF8&psc=1

Has anybody seen this before? Or know how to fix it? Dusty mirror, damaged vat? Bad coat material? Too much exposure? I'm very close to having good prints :D :?: :D Thanks!!

easy solution - it's definitely worn out silicone.
the lines you see - is that small area on your vat coating, which has accidentally worn out / damaged / scratched, etc - definitely due to previous prints,
stuck prints - anything mechanical which could have caused damage.

take care :)
