The paper wrapped around the fiber prevented the clamps from moving at all except when I pushed hard enough to make them move suddenly. Sudden motion is not acceptable. The clamps should move steadily and gradually as the heating light is on. With the paper I got fuses that broke at 850 grams. When I switched to lint-free cloth, some of the fuses held 850 grams. However, the clamps still moved to the right spontaneously during some fusing attempts.

Today Andrew and I tried removing lips from some fibers. He used 1000 grit and I used 5 micron grit. I fused some of mine and weight tested them. Two broke at 850 and one broke at 1000.
Even with 5 micron grit it is easy to remove some of the core while removing a lip. 1 micron grit and copier paper don't seem very effective, though.
