What we learned
What worked
Impregnating the borderline leakers and scrapping the rest. Twenty two of thirty nine came back and passed.
What failed
Trying to impregnate every failure. The severe ones came back and failed again, so the labour was spent twice.
War story
Sorting by leak rate first and only impregnating the slow leakers turned an eleven hour rework into a six hour one on the following run.
