We partialy applied FC on the PR3 mirror surface and removed some residues and foot print of tag. Procedure is as below. After first trial(Aplly 2 layers, wait 2h30min), we still could see foot print of tag. So I talked with Miyoki-san and Aso-san, and followed Aso-san's procedure. last try, we found some edges, of FC on HR side. Tomorrow morning we will try to remove it.

1. Applied FC at small area (just 1 layer)
2. Put tag on the FC, and apply small amount of FC on the tag (tag size should be larger than FC area)
3. After 15min, pill off

Someitmes we found some dots of residues at edge of FC. So we should try again and again.

This morning, I try to remove residues on PR3 mirror.

  • Firstly, I took picture by Nikon camera with trypod. I can see small dusts around center residue. I'm not sure they are came from chamber top closing work or not.
  • I partialy apply FC on the residues. Those were removed, but unfortunately edge of FC was remain again.

I talked with Aso-san, and decided apply FC whole surface tomorrow.
