soaked the prototype in room temp water (76 degrees F to be exact) for 3 hours(11am-2pm)
to represent saliva & to see if any silicone product would come off.
put the silicone in the dishwasher for a load (1 hour) to see how the shape and material would hold up being washed. I used a different silicone to test in the dishwasher because the other silicone ran out.
I think my prototype turned out to be an overall success.
I was able to create just what I wanted with minor faults in the process.
If i could do it all again, I would choose to do a different prototype with more time, such as the mitten.
I learned to manage my time and a lot of Fusion 360 skills.
I am overall very satisfied with my project.
