Results Experiments 5–8
The last four tests in this series are all small tweaks of the Experiment 3 recipe, just to see how tiny changes shift the final material.
Here’s what changed:
Experiment 5:
Same recipe as Experiment 3, but double the wool.
Experiment 6:
Again the same recipe, but with four times the wool.
Experiment 7:
Same quantities as Experiment 3, but the wool fibers are cut in half instead of fully shredded.
A kind of “in-between” version of Experiment 3 and 4.
Experiment 8:
Exactly the same recipe as Experiment 3, but dried for less time in the dehydrator.
So this one is all about timing, not ingredients.
It’s fascinating how small shifts in fiber length, fiber density, or dehydration time can create completely different behaviors in the material.
Some became more rigid, some more textured, some more flexible, some more unpredictable.
Curious which one surprised you the most — and what kind of properties you’d want to see explored next.
