0025 Mixing chamber temperature has been stuck at 3.8 K for the last 4 hours, and the mixture is condensing very slowly. I don't see any point in starting circulation. There's a leak - it's smaller than the ones we encountered during Run 18, but it's large enough that it will prevent us from reaching base temperature.
0250 Abort condensing mixture. It's not getting anywhere. Pump mixture into main bath and stop 1 K pot.
0916 Bubbling liquid helium out from 20%.
1030 Lowered dewar. Warming up.
2200 Bottom flanges cleaned, indium replaced and IVC resealed. Evacuate IVC overnight.
