FAQs
What types of fluids can I use with this set?
You can use most common liquids, paints, glues, solvents, and greases. It's recommended to use silicone-free greases for best results.
How do I choose the right applicator tip?
Finer gauge tips (higher numbers like 25) are best for thin liquids and precise control, while coarser tips (lower numbers like 16) are suitable for thicker fluids or faster flow.
Can these syringes be reused?
Yes, the syringes can be reused. It is important to clean them thoroughly with an appropriate solvent or water immediately after use and allow them to dry completely.
What is the country of origin?
This product is manufactured in Great Britain.
Are the syringes disposable?
While they can be cleaned for reuse, they are designed as general-purpose syringes and can be treated as disposable if cleaning is not feasible or desired.
What is the maximum volume for each syringe?
The set includes three 5ml syringes and three 1ml syringes.
Can I use these for medical purposes?
No, this set is intended for industrial, craft, and modelling use only and is not sterile or suitable for medical applications.
Troubleshooting
Syringe plunger is stiff or won't move.
Ensure the syringe is clean and free of dried residue. If using grease, try a silicone-free formulation. Apply gentle, steady pressure.
Fluid is not dispensing smoothly.
Check for air bubbles in the syringe and expel them. Ensure the applicator tip is not clogged. If using a viscous fluid, try a larger gauge tip.
Applicator tip is blocked.
Carefully clear the blockage using a fine needle or by flushing with a suitable solvent. Replace the tip if damage occurs.
Leakage from the plunger or nozzle.
Ensure the plunger is fully inserted and undamaged. Check that the applicator tip is securely attached to the nozzle.
