We have found in the shop that these large syringes are handy when it comes to dispensing some of the fluids that we use. Here Are 2 of the very common applications. One is loaded with Titebond glue, the other is loaded with a lacquer sanding sealer.
Most of our segmented turning projects only use a small amount of fluid , therefore this much fluid in a two ounce syringe lasts for quite awhile, is very convenient and keeps air away from the liquid.
With the sanding sealer I use to put on a pair of disposable gloves and apply the sanding sealer with a paper towel. This used about 4 or 5 times more sanding sealer than I needed and I had saturated paper towels to dispose of, which are loaded with fumes and a potential fire hazard and shop. With a syringe applicator I put on the gloves and apply the sanding sealer to the spinning piece. I only need my glove to apply the sealer and no brushes or paper towels to deal with.
