A novel process is used to coat glass spheres with a polymerizing thermo‐setting resin, only microns thick. Synthetic rocks of known grain size distribution and pore space characteristics are then made by heating the resin‐coated glass spheres under compression in a special mould. The dynamic Young's moduli of these rocks are found to be affected by the percentage of resin content (cement) and the synthetic diagenesis rather than the grain size and permeability.
