Noticed that both test swatches had several glossy areas in the black near the center, didn't affect the pull or wash test but I haven't done my last wash test and dried to check but is this glossy effect normal in random spots or should I increase my time 10 seconds or so and try to make this effect uniform? I'm guessing this is the way the finish product should look sense this is gloss black palstisol.
One wash test failed one passed, the one that passed has the shiny spots any body now if more cure is needed. It was the second one flash cured and the unit had been running longer, I preheated for 15 minutes but more smoke was produced during the second flash and temps were reached faster on the second swatch. I allowed them to cure for 30 seconds should I increase the flash/cure time.

your flash is probably hotter in the center. The hotter/longer you cure plastisol, the glossier it will get. Try raising the flash to get more even heat across the pallet.
