What you will see in a die-penatrent of a full blown crack is a solid line,
as obossed to the corrision pitting seen in this case. It will be very obvious.

P { MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px}I would like to know how to tell
the difference between this, if it is not a problem, and the dreaded crevice
crack corrosion that we are so constantly being warned about. Steve

So I polished the rusty area on my forestay fitting and it seems like a
surface corrosion as suggested. There are some blemishes but nothing like how
it looked before:

I also performed a dye test. Here is a picture with dye applied:

Here is after developer is applied:

I barely see a dotted line but it seems to be consistent with the
blemishes on the surface...
Any thoughts?
