Shell Tool using wrong geometry

Hey guys,

Im sure im using this incorrectly, when i use the shell tool on the reverse side of this object it picks up the geometry from "Extrude 6".
Extrude 6 doesnt go as deep as the extrusion from the front surface nor does the shell go as deep as the extrude.

    The whole point of the shell is to create a constant thickness so if you have indents (i.e. your numbers) on the front they will show up!

    If you don't want them to show up, move the shell above the extruded text in the feature tree.
