Be honest...!Jon, there's more than one way to detect a crack, none is infallible and different methods are more or less likely to pick up different flaws. A certain amount of skill is needed in both using and 'reading' them. If you want to be 'certain' use all the methods available and you'll be nearly there. Dye penetrant kits are affordable and ought to pick up a serious crack in my opinion.
