Brief Description: Testing of ceramic paint additive - Part 2
So my non-scientific test has started. I have put a 40 watt bulb in the box and will test it every 5 minutes for 15 and see what we have. I have verified that both sides are equal at the start of the tes representing ambient temperature. This first test is being done with a thin coat. I will then put on a thicker coat which should improve performance until I can determine where the best gain is, assuming there is any.
(Test 1) -5 minutes : Insulated 93; non 92.5. Hmmm -10 minutes: Insulated 96; non 97.5 Double hmmm -15 minutes: Insulated 100.4; non 102 Crap
Looking closely at the paint I think I can somewhat tell where the problem is. The surface of the insulator side has tons of little bumps that are representitive of the ceramic and it doesn't appear to be covering very well. My guess is the regular paint bridged the surface of the wood better causing a better reading from it. Adding a thicker coat to each will hopefully make up the difference. Additionally, I am going to add a really thick coat to the top to see what that will do. Keeping in mind that this thing isn't super accurate either.
