[NewCandle] crystallization weight change transients

[Nick Reiter]

Hi Keith,

Certainly feasible, but not sure to what extent if any
it is present in the experiments I've been doing so
far...

Particularly for the hypo-P, the crystallization
starts at the seed on the bottom of the flask and
spreads out like a fast growing sea urchin.  I have
also not seen any crystal growth vector break the
surface of the solution yet, nor have I seen anything
like bubbles or swiss cheese air pockets.  The only
thing trapped would be liquid phase.

So thus far, I would say thats a very minor if not
negligible factor... but a good one to keep a peeper
out for.
