Hi Guy's,
I need to order my 2nd epoxy kit and was wondering do I need to get new bottle inserts and new syringes. I always keep the syringes in separate ziploc bags. Cheers. Scott Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?

you can use the inserts again you can clean them with alcohol. you might want to keep a spare set of syringes around because after awhile they get messy I tried cleaning with alcohol and it took the markings off Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?

As long as you don't mix things up , they will work for a long time , if you mix things up , by new , yes DNA will remove the markings, so don't clean just wipe with a clean paper towel , just use till the COWS COME HOME AS I SEE IT & do William Sidney AK Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?

Scott,
I like to keep some spare syringes on hand, in case I need a replacement or if the current one, gets tough to use or dirty. There are many sources for replacement syringes. This is just one example - where you can purchase 20 syringes that are suitable for thread wrap finish use for $8. [www.amazon.com] Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/02/2019 10:03AM by roger wilson.

Neither the 20mm or 24mm bottle cap inserts fit the Thread Master bottles I use.

By the way,
I do not use syringe inserts for my thread finish. Rather, I use an appropriately sized blank cut off to slip over the end of the syringe to be able to reach the bottom of the finish bottle. Then, when I am finished, I cycle the syringe a couple of times to remove the finish from the syringe as well as the syringe extension, wipe it off and place it into a vertical test tube to finish draining. After use, the cap on the finish bottle is replaced and I move on. i.e. the finish bottles stay sealed tightly when not in use and there is no possible chance of losing finish due to a loose cap that may get tipped over on a finish bottle. Be safe Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?

Be careful with the syringes with the black seals on the plunger. Some manufacturers use silicon lubricant on these seals.
I use the all plastic 5 ml syringes and they are cheap. Don't know if the link will work but Granger sells them: Plastic syringe, Luer Slip, 5 ml product # 19G339 [www.grainger.com] TJB Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?

PS, I just pry the old bottle inserts out and place in new bottles. Or you can just drill a hole in the cap to fit the syringe. TJB Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?

Myself, at least would choose to buy from a sponsor of this site. Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?

Stay away from the ones in the Amazon link. They have rubber wipers that tend to break down when you least expect it and leave debris in your finish. Freddwhy (Rapt-Ryte) Re: Are new bottle inserts needed?
