Impregnation is a decision, not a default

ReworkA413Leak3/5 confidence

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.
