What Was Learned
I learned that removing the tape surrounding the bowl was worse than the prototype. The one without held an average of only 5.5 grams and the one with held an average of 14.25 grams. This is probably because the tape holds the aluminum foil to the bowl. Without the tape, the water is able to seep in between the bowl and the aluminum foil.
