On January 8, I went to the machine shop with Jon to pick up a milled bundle. I put a bundle on the Unistrut bar to be straightened, and I cleaned some fibers that Jon had polished.

On January 13, I polished bundles of scintillating fibers. When putting the fibers into the collar, it is helpful sometimes to have some static cling between the fibers and the metal.
On January 13, I polished bundles of scintillating fibers. Sometimes when I put fibers into the collar, I noticed some static cling between the fibers and my gloves and also between the fibers and the collar. The attraction to the gloves was not helpfulWhen putting the fibers into the collar, it is helpful sometimes to have some static cling between the fibers and the metal.
On January 16, I began to bundle light guides for milling by myself. I put a collar around the fibers at one end, then put another collar on at the same end. Once the second collar was tight, I slid the first collar toward the other end of the fibers. Then I noticed that at certain points there was a gap between the fibers in the bundle and the collar even though the collar was tight. Consequently, a few fibers could slip even though most could not. I brought the problem to Ann Marie and Liana, and Liana came over to fix the problem. Eventually the fibers were tight to our satisfaction.
