Needles and Epoxy

Hi all,

I've been using a product called Epotek 301 for various things including filling capstan holes. It's like a thinner stronger version of the West System and is used by the military to make lenses...you get the point...

Anyway, this epoxy mixes well with the West fillers and I was dispensing a batch using some standard wood glue injectors. The problem turns out that these injectors use a silicone as a mold release which can prevent the epoxy from curing properly. 

Epotek referred me to a company that sells needle kits that work awesome but are way too expensive for our purposes. I like what I see at Research Supply but any thoughts on their use with epoxy?
