research 1

I finished my research, and I'm left with three choices. these three choices are to either use acrylic, lacquer spray, or use candle wax. if i use acrylic i'm not sure i will be able to write on it with led or ink so that's probably going to be my last resort. So i'm left with lacquer spray and the candle wax. I think using the spray would be much faster than using candle wax so lacquer spray is my first choice ,and if that doesn't work then i will use the wax. I also researched the different types of pens you can use on the paper there are several but i haven't been able to desifer what the ink type is so i'll have to write another blog tomorrow on what the ink is.

Proposal

Sorry it’s so late but here is my proposal. In the first part of the proposal I had to write about what is the need for waterproof paper and how it would solve the problem. In it I also had to include who would be interested in potentially buying it or just using it. I put down the judges and officials at my swimming and diving meets. The first thing in the second picture is a timeline for the deliverables I will be getting on certain days such as January 30th when I will have all of my research done. Also included on the second picture is what the finished product will be, and how I will present it to an audience. Lastly in the proposal is me talking about the supplies I will need and my conclusion on why I’m fired up about this project.

Starting over at the proposal

This was the first day i worked on my new 20% project, which is waterproof paper. If you read my about me post it will explain why I am making waterproof paper, and talk about the people i want to be able to benefit from this project, so read that when you get the chance. Anyways today i started my proposal that will be approved by my teacher so i am able to go through with the project. Tomorrow I plan on finishing it and i will post a picture of it so you'll be able to look over it and get an idea for what I’m going for. I will have to get a 45% out of 50% in order to go through with it so I’m trying to really make it the best it can be. It may not be approved the first time so I may have to redo it in order to get it passed which will but if that’s what it takes then I’ll just have to deal with it. Tomorrow ill post again and I’ll make sure I include a picture of my proposal and you can tell me what you think.

About me and the project

Originally I had a blog for my other 20% project which was a beach bag. That project fell apart so now I will be blogging on this page for now on. This 20% project i am now blogging about is going to be about my progress and obstacles I will be facing while making waterproof paper. I am making waterproof paper to benefit the judges, and officials at my diving meets. I have noticed an issue and I want to fix it with this paper. The issue is that the paper the judges right on and keep track of the meet with are getting wet and the ink is spreading, and making the writing hard to read. Yes, they could just put those paper laminating folders over the paper, and could just laminate them, but there is a problem with that. The problem with those solutions is that you can't write on the paper if you were to do those two things. There is also a problem with the waterproof paper I might discover though, I hypothesize that not all inks are going to work with the paper so I’m going to have to do some research about the different types of inks. All in all I think this is going to be a fun project, and I would like to introduce it to the judges, and the officials at meets, and see what their reaction is which will hopefully be encouraging. My ultimate goal for this waterproof paper is to get it involved in all of the meets I go to, and compete in. I hope you enjoy my post in the future, and the obstacles I may face or the major progress I have made. I may post pictures to keep you updated also just to give you a visual reference on what is have accomplished.
