BW July 2018

7/13: Yesterday I did some practice fuses and then fused four productions fibers in bundle 404 using a piece of sponge gasket to keep the clamps from bottoming out. The work was slow because it took me a long time to remove wings.

Today Jim said Andrew was getting very good results from fusing. He suggested that Andrew should take over as primary fusing technician. That may be a good idea since Andrew seems to be quicker at removing wings.

While Andrew was learning to fuse scrap fibers with the sponge gasket, I cut more short fibers. Later I cleaned a bundle of shorts scraps and started polishing a new one.

7/18: The piece of sponge gasket for gripping fibers was missing today. I may have lost it while cleaning up the fusing work station today. Andrew made a new one.

7/19: Sci-Fi bundle 6 was left out of the storage box overnight one night this week. We need to avoid repeating this mistake.
