Degas ceramic tip and Tensiometer shaft

If the tip is completely dry just put the empty shaft in a beaker with
de-ionized or distilled water and leave it overnight.

Tensiometer shafts should never be filled from the inside. To avoid
that air is trapped inside the ceramic the water must flow in one
direction only from the outside into the interior.

Keep parts clean so there will be no leaking when vacuum is

applied.
