** With the tip on the pipette, get a small amount of the epoxy in the pipette, and then inject it into the small gap between the two fibers. The final result should look like the picture seen to the right. Click on the photo to see a bigger image.

** Now that the epoxy has been applied, make the final adjustments to the fibers to make sure that they are at the distance desired and that they are lined up properly. All the adjustments should be minor ones, correcting any motion that occurred during the application process. Then let the epoxy cure for 18 to 24 hours at STP, or for 1 to 2 hours at 60 Celsius.

== Protochimney ==
Note: This is not the prototype chimney to be used to couple the matrix of waveguides to the SiPMs. The "protochimney" is to be used in our dark box to couple one fiber to one SiPM. The purpose of this coupling is to test the transmission properties of cleaved fibers joined by different epoxies.
* Below are pictures of the completed protochimney.
