Modified the syringes

I used my bench grinder to grind off the tip of one 20 cc syringes and then drilled a small hole in the end. This syringe will be used to dispense the black goo after it is mixed. Then I grounded off the ends of the other 2 syringes down to the first mark on the side of the syringe. The small syringe is a 12 cc syringe. Grinding of the ends of syringes allows you to suck up the black and white stuff in the appropriate amounts (10 to 1). The large one will be for the white stuff and the small one for the black stuff. I will use a flat surface to mix the blank white stuff together before putting it in the dispensing syringe. UPDATE 7/4/2006: The 2 syringes with the ends cut off worked great for dispensing the correct amounts of proseal compounds. I never did use the syringe on the left side of the picture, with the small hole in the end. Also, I was able to reuse the large syringes for the white compound, but the small syringes had to be thrown away after each session. The black goo messed up the plunger. I also found out that the black goo is the part of the mix that is hard to get off your skin, even before it's mixed in with the white goo.
