Scientific progress sounds like a lawnmower

I needed to test the flexibility and durability of two different types of epoxy under conditions of great extended vibration.

It'll be used on a drum, but I want to test it before I use it.

So I poured the two epoxies on opposite ends of a movie poster. Let them hard cure. And taped the poster over a rubbermaid bin to simulate a drum.

Now I need to vibrate my drum to see if the epoxy will crack. The washers spin cycle isn't very long....

Enter the Hitachi Magic Wand.

This thing is LOUD!
