The use of fluorescent dyes in highlighting some construction problems - 12(6) 1993/4, 4-7(4) - Structural Survey 12(6) 1993/4, 4-7(4) .

Explains the methods of detecting building defects through use of fluorescent dyes. Highlights the cracking of stone cladding; moisture penetration of cavity walls; and moisture uptake by reconstructed stone as suitable problems for this form of testing.
