My other tasks this week included discarding computer components and pieces of wood. I put the things to be discarded on carts and brought them down to the ground floor. I also tore up an old poster and put it in the trash and cleaned grimy tables in lab 403.
My other tasks this week included discarding computer components and pieces of wood. I put the things to be discarded on carts and brought them down to the ground floor. I also tore up an old poster and put it in the trash and cleaned grimy tables in lab 403.
On Friday June 6, I took down a poster from the door to lab 402 and began to remove tape and adhesive residue from the doors. I continued this task on Monday June 9. I started with a rag wet with ethanol, but there were still some Scotch tape and thicker layers of masking tape on the door. I had hoped I could scrape off the tape with cardboard, but the cardboard was much too thick. I also tried my fingernails, but they were not well suited to the task either. I had considered a razor but was afraid it would damage the finish of the door. However, as I continued to use the rag with ethanol, Jim appeared with a razor blade and began scraping away the tape. After seeing him use the razor without harming the door, I took it and used it to remove the tape. I still had to use ethanol to wipe away the traces of adhesive afterwards. When I was done, I put the rags, now spotted with adhesive, on the shelf above the other used rags in lab 405.
