How Do You Identify Counterfeit TPG Slabs?

I wish I had known before hand, would have been interesting to see how hard it was to get it open. I remember just hitting it once wrapped in a towel and feeling it come apart completely. It was a very clean separation along the seal line but it did chip a little bit where I had hit it.

I assume something just went wrong during the seal, but now I kind of wonder if there was just something defective about the plastic on that one that didn't allow a proper seal

Here you go...

Yeah, that was several years ago, so yeah, that problem was obviously corrected. Probably some sort of equipment failure and even just not properly adjusted. Ultrasonic assembly can be touchy and if the operator is not familiar with how it should work and even sound when all is functioning properly problems can go undetected.

Our counterfeiters are so good today they can make almost anything and sometimes better than the original.
