I fused 10 fibers today. I tested five of them and the strongest one held the hanger plus 300 grams. It broke after several seconds under 500 grams.

+
+1/29: I asked Jim some questions this morning.
+
+He said it would be all right to move fibers to the conference room table, but I need to be aware that after testing, they must remain in the same position in a bundle ever after.
+
+I can move the fibers to a different compartment in the storage box as long as I vacuum it out first. However, since the fibers seem to be dusty already, it would be best to clean them before moving them to a clean compartment. They should be clean before they are tested.
+
+There is a bag, I think of sci-fis, that should stay in the front compartment, Jim said.
+
+The same collars should work for both light guides and sci-fis. I need to calculate what I plan to take off, though, to be sure. I think I should also check once I have polished a bundle that they fit right in the splicing unit. If they are too long, I can take more off, but if they are too short, they will be more likely to be no good.
