<VV> Solvent Test

[Williams, Rickie]

My dad always told me that gasoline would leak where water would not.  I use
lacquer thinner when doing the "solvent test".  The head I position just as
you describe and then I cover it up so that evaporation is minimal.  After a
half hour or so, the verdict is usually obvious.
