I still slop even with the needle. Seems hard to get it flowing without an initial too-high-o'pressure squirt. I've actually done better with the little "oilers" from Schaff. BTW, True Confessions: The first syringe I tried, I -- forgetting every rule of physics 101 -- pulled out the plunger and poured the CA into the top ... As it began running through the needle (duh!), I panicked and tilted the whole thing back for a second ... Which literally filled my hand with the glue. Have you ever had your entire hand stuck together? It's a weird feeling and that stuff gets HOT as it cures! The one bit of fortune I had was that I didn't glue my hand to the piano or the floor or anything and I had ... ******** SPREAD A THICK LAYER OF NEWSPAPER UNDER YOUR WORK BEFORE OPENING ANY CA CONTAINER ********* And I had remembered to ... ******** KEEP A BOTTLE OF CA REMOVER WITHIN REACH ********** Alan R.

Ha." Alan, That can be a bit of a problem.<G> However, Someone told me to use vasoline on my hands, etc. I put on Nitrile Gloves with a light coating of vasoline....Works Great! Also, I put a smear on the syringe plunger, so's it don't stick itself up. (BTW, the syringe is the way to go, so's you don't slop that stuff all over the "coils, etc."<G>) Please do VENTILATE and wear a good mask!
