When tested in tension creep at 120 F and 50 psi, LX-10-0, Lot 710-2 had a significantly shorter time to fail than Lot 710-1, but the failure strains were not significantly different. In the compressibility tests, three specimens of LX-10-0 Lot 710-2 showed high rate of compression creep which may have been due to a lower than usual initial density; the tests were terminated after thirty days. The compression creep of RX-04-EA, RX-04-EB, and RX-04-DW are continuing; none of them have shown any significant change since the 30-day reading
