Crack Test, Part 3 | Continuing the Experiment

2020/05/19

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

This is a test specimen that was sprayed on May 1.

The photo was taken on May 16.

It's raining.

No. 1 Plastic Spacer

It's been a little over two weeks since then.

So far, nothing has changed.

No. 2 PC Spacer

My guess is that cracks might start to appear once the intensity reaches a certain limit after the fourth week.

No. 3: Last only

I do have one concern, though: isn't it a little small?

That's what I think.

Well, since there's a chance it might expand due to heat when summer comes, I guess I'll just have to be patient and see how things go.

Will it come out, or won't it?

Does the material of the spacer have anything to do with cracks?
