- When preparing the samples (fiberglass layup), use a flatter surface so that the average thickness is more consistent
- If testing high-temp paint, use more than one coat so that there is enough paint to show results
- Find some way of remote-triggering the blow torch for added safety
- Use a more accurate scale so that initial and final mass is more accurate
- When measuring thickness (for average thickness calculation), be consistent when choosing points to measure on the sample, and take more than three measurements for a more accurate estimate
