Changing method...again.

I'm changing my whole method again and basically forgetting about trial 1# for a much more exact conclusion and result. I'm also carrying out a few trials today.

Method:
1. Tape aluminium foil onto a flat surface in room temperature (25°C)
2. Apply one layer of one nail polish containing toluene and formaldehyde onto the aluminium foil.
3. Time the duration for the polish to dry onto the foil.
4. Use a Q-Tip to check if the nail polish is completely dry
5. Record observations and results.
6. Cut out abrasive paper in a 3.5cm x 3.5cm square.
7. Tape abrasive paper against a block of wood.
8. Rub the abrasive paper against the foil once
9. Repeat Step 8 until nail polish begins to peel or chip.
10. Calculate how many strokes it took for polish to show signs of chipping.
11. Observe the resistance and durability and record results.
12. Repeat steps 2-11 using the three other types of nail polish.
