Default S-H Spars: Anyone check for voids laterally?

Has anyone probed spanwise, along the spar cap adjacent to the visible
glue-starved areas for voids that are not visible on the exterior of
the spar? A flexible, thin rod should work. If so, what did you
find?

That's apparently part of the inspection process. When ours was examined, only
a small void was visible, inserting a probe showed it to be larger and in need
of repair.
