Today, we went to the bonding lab intending to glue the TCP SST prisms to the glass barrel.  However, because this requires a heat lamp cure very near where there were some FC/PEEK mesh tabs (left over from transport?), we needed to remove them.  When I went to pull them off, we immediately noticed that the PEEK mesh was not sunk into the FC enough to get the edge to peel (see picture attached).  As well, there some brush strokes outside of the base FC "puddle" which were also not attached to the PEEK mesh, therefore not coming off with the pull.  So, we had to reapply the FC around the edge and let it dry (another 8 hours, as per the FC procedure), and abort the prism gluing.
