One way to test this idea is to turn off the heating lamp and put a scrap in so that it goes through the clamps and partly through the ferrules, but not all the way to the end. We can do a run and see how much the fiber moves toward the end.

Today I emptied the Eureka Airspeed vacuum cleaner dust cup. I also rinsed the filter screen and the dust cup. I dried them with paper towels and left them out to dry at least overnight. I put the filter next the splicing unit for safekeeping. I think it will be out of the way there and it will not get anything dirty.

In retrospect, I probably only needed to rinse the filter screen. Next time I clean it that is what I want to do.
