Final Experiments

I have concluded my experiments with PVC and have some interesting information to share with the class. I finished up and experiment with paint color and found that wet sanding with high grit sand paper and PVC surface can produce great results. Note the photo below. I was able to get a smoothing, almost glossy looking finish in both cases (PVC primer, PVC primer and glue). Additionally, I received results from the heat bending of the PVC piping in the jigs. I slowly applied heat from a heat gun, running it along the surface of the PVC and gradually ending the form to fit into the jig. After each peace cooled I was able to take them out and apply pressure. I found it hardest to bend the most severe ark and easiest to bend the smoothest ark.
