I'm not sure but I think what you are talking about, I
have used also.
You cut off the end of the needle so the slip squirts
out the end instead of the two holes in the side.
you also cut off the end of the syringe,only enough so
that the needle fits snugly. then just slide them
together.

Just a short additional note:
When you're cutting off the end of that needle, stick something inside--a
wire of appropriate size, a sewing needle--something--to keep the hollow
needle from collapsing when you snip it.

In the last few years i went to a few stephen hill workshops ..they were
very informative and fun... i got the supplies( the green syringe thing and
the basketball pumping up needles..) to apply slip but did not put them
together at the time..
now i have a great need to apply slip in one of my new designs but i forgot
how to assemble the tool he uses... i remember that you cut something ..
is it the syringe or the needle.. how do you get the two things together..
does anyone out there remember what to do?????

When you cut the end of the needle, use a hack saw or a crfter's saw.
Better yet., ask your vet for a large diameter needle and attach that to a
bulb or a small hair coloring bottle. The needles stfit on the plastic very
tightly and you can squeeze or squirt and the needle won't shoot off. Try
squirting from 3-5 feet. Great patterns!

Instead of going through all of this bother why not just buy precision
oilers. These are hypodermic applicators attached to a lid that screws onto a
4 oz.
plastic bottle similar to hair dye bottles. They come in various gages. Don't
have the phone number but the address is Gaunt Industries, 6217 Northwest
Highway, Chicago, IL 60631

Kathleen:
You cut the tip of the bulb off and insert the bottom of the pin into it,
it should fit tight. The pin must be ground down past the vent hole to
prevent the slip from spraying out the side. This can be done on a bench
grinder. These work great, I get the ear syringes for babies, they are
softer than the larger type.
good luck........Beryl
