Good info Steve!
Thanks, I'm learning quite a bit here! Is this type pof inspection covered under Level I Inspection? I think I'd like to take that training through our Canadian Welding Bureau (similar to AWS) soon.

Also depends on how the dye was applied.If the dye was applied real heavy,maybe it was too much left on the test area. If you follow the inst. on the can . wait for the red dye to soak into all voids,usually 10 to 20 min., then I take a clean rag & spray with brake cleaner & wipe the red dye off,till only the imbeded dye remains. Wipe it down again with a clean dry rag.Let that dry by air,not compressed air. That can spread the red dye too much. Then spray on the developer[white] And wait for the developer to dry.When I see large dark areas like I'm seeing in the photo ,maybe too much red was left on. A little red dye goes a long way. Some times I use a que-tip to apply the red dye. Hope this helps R/R
