How can over removal of penetrant be avoided when using Type 1 penetrants?

Explanation:
Focusing the inspection with ultraviolet light lets you clearly see where penetrant remains in flaws. Fluorescent penetrants glow under UV, providing high-contrast indications that show exactly which areas still contain penetrant after the wash and before the developer step. This visibility lets you stop cleaning at the right point, preventing excessive removal of penetrant from cracks or flaws. Without UV visualization, you risk either missing faint indications or washing away evidence of a flaw.
