Check the small sides of them to see if you have them all stretched or at a very small number like .001.

Flow

you can use e.g Additive 175 or less (or more). It depends on you. Just try a bit.

This is an important opportunity to point out that A) The newbie mapping forum exists for just these kinds of small problems, and B) You should only scale textures when you have the face you want selected, not the whole brush. Scaling with the whole brush selected probably causes about 99.9% of all "bad scaling" problems. Another thing to keep your eye on. (as if there wasn't enough already)
