One of the on-going problems in this project has been finding glue which can be used to attach the latex insert to the plastic space bags and create an air and water-tight seal. After  lots of experimentation using many different types of glue we decided to change our approach and instead look for a different material which, similar to latex, is strong yet elastic but, unlike latex, can be glued to plastic. Latex is used for gloves because of it's strength and elasticity both of which are important properties for gloves to have. For this reason we decided to look at other materials which are also used to make gloves. Luckily, we found some boxes of nitrile gloves in the lab which we tested using many different types of glue and found adhered to plastic with the help of Loctite Plastic Bonder. After further testing of this material it proved to be effective for this project and we proceeded to order a thicker and more durable sheet of nitrile to make new prototypes with.
