#Heat and water test
##Heat test 1: 50 - 70 degrees celcius
I put them in the oven at the lowest setting of 50 centigrade for 10 mins, then for 45 mins. Then I turned the oven up to 70 degrees and again checked after 10 and 45 mins.
Sample | 50 C for 10 mins | 50 C for 45 mins | 70 C for 10 mins | 70 C for 45 mins |

##Water test 1: water resistant (spraying)
I sprayed water onto the samples

##Water test 2: submerged
I submerged the samples in water at room temperature.
Sample | 30 mins | 1 hour | 2 hours | 4 hours |
