D-76B dissolves in water and applied to the inspection surface after the surface penetrant has been removed and before the part is dried. This form of developer is generally applied by immersion dip, flow on, or gentle air less spray, prior to the drying process. A uniform film will form during the drying. Most specifications do not allow the use of this form of developer with Method A (water washable) penetrants.
