Crack Test, Part 2 | Experimental Results

2020/05/06

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

This is Part 2 of the crack test we conducted the other day.

Please keep in mind that the final results of this exam won't be out for quite a while lol (they won't be out right away).

For now, the first week will be May 8, right after Golden Week.

We'll take photos at that time, at the 4-week mark, and continue to observe and take photos on a regular basis.

 

And here's a video showing the spraying process.

We sprayed it on like this.

Once it has set to some extent, remove it from the mold and let it sit some more.

I think it's best to expose them to as natural a setting as possible, so let's leave it like this until this project is finished.

 

See you later.
