The top ferrule needs to be glued when the part is out of the splicing unit because if it were left in the glue would drip down and cement the ferrules together. Even when applying the glue for the bottom ferrule, you need to be careful not to allow it to creep up and attach the two ferrules to each other.

5/4: I cut 9 full-length spare light guides and finished off the spool. There is one shorter fiber that came off the end. I put a white strap around them and put them in the storage box.
I cut some scrap fibers to get them ready for weight testing during fusing. I started polishing a bundle of scraps and finished one end with 400 grit.
I remember I also need to polish some short scrap fibers to substitute for sci-fis in weight testing. I will have to cut those to 0.907" so that polishing will get them to the right length.
