Crack detection die

[Shox Dr]

It's the first time I've used Crack detection Die on a part to repair, using TIG. Does the Die that has been drawn into the crack affect welding?

I'm open to correction on this one as it must be 18 - 20 years since I used that stuff but from memory there should be a dye remover that comes with it (I used a white foam) and use compressed air to get rid of it from any flaws but don't get it on your hands as its a nightmare to get off.

There is an appropriate cleaner to remove residual penetrants/developer, if used properly any rewelding work should be problem free from contaminants left over from inspection process.

RTFM the bloody writing on the Rocol Box is so small I couldn't read it

I've welded it before but only with MIG, and I wasn't the one using it, if that makes sense, wasn't sure how it would affect welding with TIG.
