[time-nuts] LPRO questions...

[Magnus Danielson]

Hi Alan,

I used a fairly crude heat gun, and I looked at the lamp and was able to
see when it had cleared since I had evaporated the rubidium from the
glas. But it was not extreme heat (it's a small heat-gun anyway) or
particular long time. I had to redo it and re-think it to figure out how
to get the metal to deposit where I wanted, and what worked for me was
to let the deposit area be high up, but it could just be that this was
the part with most cooling, so it could have dominated.

Cheers,
Magnus
