N707ZS.......yes the standard test for delamination in composite panel material is tapping with the edge of a coin........the difference between the sound made between good material and delaminated is usually quite easy to detect .

Small puncture allows moisture in, which then freezes at altitude which parts more laminations allowing more moisture ....and so on...
