Today we pulled the forst contact fabric from ITMY. 

First we de-installed the jig around the cage, leaving only the fabric still attached to the HR of the test mass. We used the top gun to blow away particulate on the sides of the quad, the CP and in between as much as we could before pulling the FC. We note that there are still small, albeit sparse, visible "dot" particulate on these surfaces. These were observed at LLO as well, so nothing too surprising.

The first contact came off nicely, as an even layer. There were two spots at the edge, about 1-1.5 inch from 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock that left some residue so we painted those two little spots to remove it. We did it twice because the first time we left a bit of a line at the edge, but that was more petty than necessary. There was a small hair-like piece, 2mm long, that didn't come off with the top gun so we used a dry cotton swab to swipe it off.

We replaced the face EQ stops and the cage baffles. The quad is locked and the ACB is still wedged up.
