The weight was after the alcohol soak. I never thought to weigh it before.
However, before the paper and tape would not have been installed so the weight
would have been different anyway. I'm not running a scientific laboratory so did
not bother with weighing the alcohol before and after. I was interested in a
comparison of a soaked bowl to an unsoaked bowl with both treated the same
otherwise. Actually, I don't even need to prove this to myself. I know that it
works, reguardless of whether George or anyone else says that it can't work. I'm
doing the test for the people who might wish to use the process, not to prove
anything to myself.

Was that before or after the alcohol soak?

What might be interesting to note is the weight of the bowl before and
after the soak, and the weight of the tub of alcohol before and after.
Or a chemical analysis of the alcohol to see how much water it gains
during the soak.
