Time for some strange results.
I removed the 3 samples last night at 10pm (5-14-14) so they have been left soaking for slightly over 8 days. When I removed then I placed them out to dry till 4pm (5-15-14)
#1 started out at 50 grams, uncoated, and placed in alcohol. today's weight was 50 grams, very good physical appearance, and held up very good when I tried scratching it with a scribe. Alcohol when removed was still purple.

Now the strange results.

#2 started out at 55 grams, coated, and weighed 55 grams
when removed last night coating was somewhat wrinkly in appearance.
sample now weights 60 grams (5 grams more) looks good but is off color, tested great when scratched with a scribe, BUT the alcohol is now CLEAR instead of purple.

#3. Pump gas (bp93) coated, 45 grams entering test
when pulled last night coating was again wrinkly.
weighted 50 grams in today's weigh-in (5 grams more), looked good but off color. both coated samples lost the nice shine from the coating before the test started, responded nicely to the scratch test and probing with the scribe. Pictures are from today.








Really happy with the Splash-zone after being soaked constantly for that long but I may try some ppg clear coat with hardner for the next test.
