Our samples made after the change in the mold during Week 5 were still flawed. During Week 6's lab we went to the lab where we will test our samples planning on testing the samples made during Week 4, which were the closest to the expected shape. However, once we got there, the tensile machine wasn't working properly so we couldn't go through with our testing. We spoke to Brian and agreed on making all of our batches and then testing them all the same day.

Our next approach for making the plastic will be to pour it into a bigger rectangular mold and then cut the shape of the samples into the dried sheet of plastic with an x-acto knife. This way, warping and flashing won't be a problem.
