I'm having an issue with the edges of my vector after exporting to .svg. I've looked online for a similar question but can't seem to find anything, if you know of any please feel free to direct me to it.

I'll post a screenshot of the image after and before exporting to give you guys an idea of what i'm talking about.

I have drawn this using the vector brushing tool, and using the stabilizer (rope method). I then used the node tool to join curves. On some which needed a hole through them such as the R and the O i did the same thing with those inside shapes then used the layer->geometry->subtract method. I have grouped everything to it's own word.

The weird thing is it only has the issue on the word ROCK, not exactly sure why. 

I'm new to affinity designer and all things graphic design so im having a little trouble troubleshooting this. Any help would be great, thanks!

Can you upload the affinity file so we can take a look and see if we get the same result?

I am going to guess that the word rock is done with several curves for each letter. But a copy of the file would be best.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Looks like tearing to me.

@NoobMan, I can recreate this. Take a look at the node handles at a problem corner. Do they double back in the same direction as each other? That'll cause a tear in the stroke. (ironically, if the handles are exactly on top of each other it doesn't happen)

Furthermore, you're not seeing it on canvas because your Join, I'm guessing, is set to Round. But when saved to SVG and reopened they show up.... even if still set to round ( a little weird).
Before export, if you switch the Join type to bevel or miter (i.e square) the tears should show on the original as well.
Changing the Miter setting number won't fix it. It'll, at some point, just make the problem pointy instead of a hole.
Ya gotta fix the handles (if that is indeed what's going on).
