Peeling or barespots are one of the hardest defects to overcome in a CGL . There are so many things that can attribute to this . After seeing some of the steps you have takin in tracking it down all I can suggest would be to do a furnace tuning and make sure that mixtures are still to specs. After doing this as a short term fix try adjusting line speed to give more soak time in the furnace . This should allow more oxides to burn away . Another thing to keep an eye on is when this defect occurs . Is it on G80 FH and anneal both . If it seems to be mostly on G80 I suggest that more alkaline be added to the cleaning section ( since the temps are usually lower in the furnace and the speeds higher : not allowing the furnace to act as a
" cleaning section " ) and a few feet per minute drop in normal speed in addition to the raised H2 that you have already tried .... hopefully this helps you out . I hope to hear good news from you about this pending issue .
