Ninth
Lab Task: Continue building prototype applicators and test
RTV silicone

Adhesives

Fall
2001, Dr. Sichel
Continue
building prototypes and test RTV silicone
Discussion
before beginning lab: Make list of prototypes still being
tested. Answer questions remaining from lab report #8. Discuss
what we learned from Dr. Pocius and what changes we should
make, based on our new information. Prof. Ucci has completed
the test of control samples and he picked up the refrigerated
seawater samples from us on Oct. 25. Dr. Sichel is looking
into the possibility of our measuring the bond strength of
the life-tested samples (in minnow cages) ourselves in MMA's
strength of materials lab. Stay tuned for news.
Prepare
a tray of iced seawater to test the prototypes in chilled
water. Collect more rocks if we need more. Test the RTV silicone
caulk by applying it underwater. Test any other prototype
ideas that we have discussed or which you have not completed
to date.
