Question

high and low spots in a damaged panel are identified through all of these methods except:

visual inspection.

running a hand over the panel surface

making comparative measurements

placing a straightedge over the panel surface

Explanation:

To identify high and low spots in a damaged panel: Visual inspection (observing surface irregularities), running a hand (feeling variations), and placing a straightedge (seeing gaps indicating unevenness) are direct methods. Comparative measurements are more about quantifying differences between panels or areas, not a primary method for identifying spots on a single damaged panel.

Answer:

Making comparative measurements
