This time I want to twist the sci-fi guide to the right again (right in front and left in back), but always gently rather than sometimes putting too much force on it. Maybe then the sandpaper will reach all the fibers.

3/12: Andrew and I aligned the fibers in Bundle 401 for testing, and I ran some tests after putting the fibers in the dark box. I practiced fusing, and we continued polishing the sci-fi bundle started on March 9. We were using 400 grit. After Andrew left, I adjusted my polishing method and increased the rate of progress. I kept twisting left at the rear of the sci-fi guide, but at the front I no longer twisted right. I used my hand at the front to hold the sci-fi guide down and press forward right behind the collar.
With my new method, the sci-fi guide is still twisted right in front and left at the rear, but the twisting force is applied only at the rear. The fibers are held against the wheel with more force, so polishing goes faster.
