As the studio was closing down I was able to carry out plans to sneak these pieces into the big kiln and move the manifold over for a proper bakeout. Excited to get these #borosilicate #neon pieces filled. Some #experimental #workinprogress indeed. Studio is closed today, but we should be filling tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Today's activity: repairing an ion mill!
Wasn't pumping down, suspected the internal diaphragm pump needed new seals. Still bad with my other pumps so I started replacing tubing, tightening fittings and applying vac grease to seals.
Unsure where the leak was, but fixed now! Will let it pump for a while and see what the final pressure is. From what I can gather, should end up somewhere in the neighborhood of e-6 torr
