PRECISION ,ONE LOAD, GLUE SYRINGE AND NEEDLES
This a small 3 cc plastic, disposable, single Syringe, intended for a single loading with either fluid or gel ACC for model buildiong applications. We have found in practice that a loaded syringe can be used several times over a week or so, with new needles each time, if kept in a domestic refrigerator between uses. Often in that case even the needle would stay unblocked and still be reusable.

The syringe takes separate, replaceable, both fine and extra fine stainless steel blunt needles, for precision gluing of both small and extremely small parts.


$5.95
The syringes and needles are sold separately in packs as below:

Quantity:
