Compression Test 2 Results: The marks on the weighted wooden rod are measured for comparison. The mark at the top shows that the rod depressed the gel to a depth of 3", while the next mark shows that the rod sank into the flat silicone sample less than 5/8". The mark just below that shows that the rod sank into the curved part of the silicone breast from a minimum of 1/4" to a maximum of 3/4". The gel in this test compressed 5 times as far as the silicone.
