Report
of Ann Bodio, student technician, third week of work, July
2002.
"The
first thing I did was cleaned a few buckets and bags that
were soaking in Clorox overnight. ...Rick and Andy got us
14 scallops from the cage outside off the ramp..One at a time
I scrubbed some of the (algal) fouling off the scallops. ...Started
mixing trial (of Ceramicrete) at 11:20 to 11:25...Mixture
consists of 100 grams of cement (plus) 50 grams of phosphoric
acid... I checked on the scallops from our first trial . The
cement turned to a kind of sandy mixture and the scallops
were swimming away....Then Enid and I tried a second trial
(with Ceramicrete)....(and a third trial)...Third trial...we
stuck shellfish to netting using the same adhesive at around
1:30. All the animals in test #2 all floated away."
"The
first task I did today was I went into the (lab) to see if
the Ceramicrete and phosphoric acid cement ...work(ed)."
