Week 2 [rachel villalta]

For week 2 I wanted to step up the size of the mesh so I could mold it easier and make sure the concrete does not seep through the mesh. I applied a layer latex to the molded mesh. This time I poured the mold twice, once with Quick Crete and once with Cement all. The quick_crete test took much longer to dry and after initial removal from the mold was very dusty. I believe we had our ratio a little wrong (1 part water to 4 parts powder).
