Strange See-Through surface on Solid?

I drew a knurled cap container for a customer, and I noticed there was a strange see through surface on the cap. It's not hindering my ability to model, but it was an interesting quirk that I'm curious to know as to what's happening.

    Hey @mbartlett21 thanks for the extra info to satisfy my curiosity. I just subtracted two solids to get the shape. It's strange that it didn't show up anywhere else too.

    @afalzate13
    Is there a very small gap there (i.e. 0.001 mm)
    Sometimes small gaps cause Parasolid to have some issues with it, causing a problem with the tessellation.
