If you change the test you change it's valid uses also..

I truly understand the traditional TNT test and its uses as you described, but the reality is it doesnt work for me, so i found a way that works for me, and i get great results that what its all about!!

I tend to rely more on visual testing. When I can no longer see the edge, when it no longer reflects light, then I know I am getting close.
