ABSTRACT:
A method of testing an elastomeric personal barrier which involves positioning the barrier over a mold in the shape of the barrier, the mold being translucent or of a contrasting color to the barrier, exposing the personal barrier to a non-corrosive solvent so that the solvent comes into contact with the exterior of the personal barrier only except where a flaw exists in the barrier, removing the personal barrier from contact with the solvent, and inspecting the exterior of the personal barrier for the appearance of one or more stains which indicate the presence of a flaw in the structural integrity of the barrier.
