Chapter IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Investigatory projects are projects intended to knowing discoveries in Science. They are being researched, experimented and studied thoroughly. After several attempts and activities, effects have been finally seen by the researcher. This chapter presents all of the results of the researcher’s experiment, the further effects seen and even the flaws that sprouted while the study was going on. Based on the study conducted, the following results were observed:
Binding solutions are needed so that the fibers stick together. In this case, liquid starch was used as binding material.
To improve the color of the paper, chlorine was used.. Sticky slurry will not produce good results as this produced thick paper. It is necessary to add plenty of water to the mixture in the basin so that water drain through the screen and leave a mat of randomly interwoven fibers that is laid down. The screen should be tightly attached to the mold to get an even distribution of the fibers in the solution. Uneven distribution of the slurry in the wire screen produced uneven sheet of paper so it is important to slosh around the mold to form a uniform thin coating. The type of material to be used is essential in drying the fibers because using glass and other materials make the fibers stick to it. Formica or felt sheet made of wool does not stick to the fiber. The resulting handmade papers were later compared in terms of color and appearance.

The table shows the comparisons made between handmade paper and commercial paper. Type of paper | Durability | Color | Appearance | Handmade | Can withstand wear and tear | Beige | 1.fibers are very visible on paper2.Paper is rough3. Paper is thick | Commercial paper | Can withstand wear and tear | White | 1.Paper is very smooth2.No visible fibers3.Very thin |

Chapter V. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Conclusions

Based on the study investigated, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. It is possible to produce handmade paper out of saba and corn peelings. Thus, hypothesis number 1 is accepted. 2. The type of handmade paper produce has different color and appearance compared to commercial paper. Thus, hypothesis number 2 is accepted 3. It is possible to use handmade paper from saba and corn peelings as substitute for commercial one. Thus, hypothesis number 3 is accepted.

Recommendations
Based on the study done, the following recommendations were made: 1. Try making paper using other materials. 2. The material for paper must be thoroughly dried to achieve the right texture of the paper. 3. Saba peelings must be thoroughly dried because fresh saba peelings do not give much fibers.
