To test whether the fibers could be protected from the damage from ethanol, the ends of fibers were covered with Saint Gobain's BC-600 fiber cement. The instructions for use and more information on BC-600 can be found [http://www.detectors.saint-gobain.com/uploadedFiles/SGdetectors/Documents/Product_Data_Sheets/BC600-Data-Sheet.pdf here.]
Tips on epoxy use and other test procedures can be found [https://docs.google.com/a/uconn.edu/document/d/1yUTqVM172Ta29nQGRo3gLhZzoSG-CtZQL-JCNUg0j8k here.]
==Data==
[[File:Epoxy_Test_1.png|frame|center|This is a graph of the results from Epoxy Test 1 and it's respective Alcohol Test. This test was run for 24 hours in room temperature conditions. The red data points are the fibers which were not epoxied. The blue data points are the fibers which were coated in BC-600. The epoxied fibers had a smaller change in fiber size, but also experienced their greatest change around the 75%-85% concentration. ]]
