This wood is 78 years old and it was madeof cedar and had an application of at least two to three layers of previous stain and paint on itssurface. Samples were cut using a table saw in rectangles approximating 7.5x14.1 centimeter.Four samples were needed for each brand’s five application methods: a, b, c, and d. Sample ‘a’was used at the control for each set, not placed into the QUV. Scraping and sanding wasperformed to remove the previous paint layers. After this process, sample labels were solderedinto the back of each sample in order to be able to differentiate them

Where this project diverges from prior research (e.g., Burger 2018; Pawley 2017; Robertson& Mason; 2008, Tomasko, Ridgway, Waller, & Olesik 2016) is in its consideration for thosevariables that might influence a students’ consideration for leaving, in conjunction with diversity andinclusion policies.
