Thank you SO much Michael, your're the best. I am so glad to know this. I'm too tired to fix it right now but I will definitely start trying to figure this out. I have another model with this issue (or two) I will attempt to fix them as well and if I can't figure it out I will post in here again. I'll lurk some more too before i post:)
Also thanks for more terminology like naked edges, i will try and read more about this.

Again really appreciate the time and awesome answer!
