I'm packing fused silica emitters with 5 micron beads.

And holy crap it takes a long time. I tried some with a 150 micron internal diameter last week and those were no sweat. Then 50 microns, and that took hours to get less-than-desired amounts of packing. Today I'm packing 25 micron internal diameter capillaries. I can barely even see if it's working, and I might be doing this all day.
