1013 Insert LN2 cold trap 2 and begin filling cold trap dewar with LN2
1019 Begin cryocleaning mixture through cold trap 2 following the procedure in procedure:cryoclean_mixture
1024 Open V6 to 12.0% to restart flow
1028 Open V6 to 12.2% to restart flow
1045 Open V6 to 12.4% to restart flow
1100 G1 rising too quickly, lowered V6 to 12.2%
1130 End cryocleaning mixture through trap 2. Pump mixture to dump
1152 P1 = 0.007 mbar, G1 = 2.3 mbar and stable. Close all valves and turn off 3He pump, leaving 724.8 mbar in dump
1155 Remove cold trap 2 from the LN2 bath to warm up overnight

1613 Open V6 to 12.0% to restart flow
1616 Open V6 to 12.2% to restart flow
1629 Tried increasing V6 to restart flow, but G1 rose too quickly. Closed V4 and turning V6 to 0.0% then restarted cryocleaning at V6 = 12.0%
1638 Open V6 to 12.3% to restart flow
1645 Open V6 to 12.4% to restart flow
