Are false-positive "evap lines" possible if the test is read within the recommended time frame?
I mean, with the tests I have it says right on the instructions to read the test after 5 minutes; after 15 minutes, the test is no longer valid because even if it's negative, an evap line will appear after that amount of time.
I don't really consider this a malfunction of the test; the test is effective as long as the directions are followed. It is meant to be read after five minutes.
If this "faint line" that has been described appeared within the recommended time frame, I'd consider that a positive.
False positives are pretty rare.
After fifteen minutes or whatever it says on your instructions, though, you can no longer trust the test results. it's meant to be read within a specified time frame.
