** Now that you have the fibers set and ready to receive the epoxy, Take a clean pipette with a dispensing pump and apply a tip to the end of the pipette. (Note: It was not extremely easy to tell when a tip is completely attached to the end of the pipette, so practice before attempting this would be best.)

** With the tip on the pipette, get a small amount of the epoxy in the pipette, and then apply to the small gap between the two fibers. The final result should look like the picture seen to the right. Again 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 resulting from the application process) Then let the epoxy cure for 18 to 24 hours at STP, or for 1 to 2 hours at 60 Celsius.
