+- Curves have changed as before overnight
+  - Maybe the act of evaporating "resets" the curve?
+  - Try turning the sample holder around, wait ~1hour, turn back and see if curve changes
+    - Control, before turning around: 101738.dat
+    - Now we play the waiting game
+  - Turn around at 112621.dat
+    - Curves appear very similar
+    => Conclude that the change in curve is due to the deposition of the Au layers
+
+ - Try deposition of more Au
+   - This time increase current. Previous depositions are too slow. 4.6A not enough?
+       - Odd, because normally 3.5A is enough to be able to visibly see deposition after ~30min
+     - The Au ball is not on the apex of the Tungsten wire; it is not receiving as much heat
+       - Hopefully increasing the current will not destroy the filament
