Glass rods were etched to reduce their surface flaws and hence to increase their flexural strength. They were then subjected to various environments to see how these would affect their strength and hence their surface. It appeared that no liquid environments affected their strength. This included boiling water. The effect of curing resin against the surface was also shown as was subsequent boiling: Shell Epon 828 appeared to increase the strength of the rods, but only when there was a surface treatment of Union Carbide A‐1100 or Owens‐Corning 801.
