  1. Presents the data from all tests performed. The purpose of the test is described in the text and grouped by numbers (i.e., tests 1–3 and 10–12 are reproducibility of measures tests for plaster and fiberglass respectively. Data organized in columns represents controlled and variable factors including: plaster type, material thickness, padding thickness, dip water temperature, dip water purity, ambient humidity and temperature, as well as the outcomes measure of temperature over time.
