Drilling continues slowly but steadily at rates between 3
Kelly Mitchell (Utah State University) is making play-doh barriers on glass slides to contain the low-viscosity epoxy used to make thin sections.

Drilling continues slowly but steadily at rates between 3 and 7 feet per hour. We'll change the bit tonight and resume drilling tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile we're using our scientific creativity to develop analysis techniques with materials we have on hand.
