Line through powerchain

#1 Post by Fiatbraces »

When I shine a torch on a part of my powerchain there is a line going through it, the powerchain isn’t snapped but there is this annoying line, could this mean it’s going to snap soon? Thanks

Don't you think it's probably your archwire?

It’s definetly not the archwire, it’s like a shadowy line it’s vertically across the powerchain and can only be seen in certain lighting

Umm, I suspect that shadowy line is the shadow from your archwire cast by light from certain angles.
