Usefull and safe way to draw Tenax R-7 and ProWeld into a Touch-N-Flow

Thom,

I'm really enjoying following these forum conversations.  I'm learning a lot just listening, and here again is a comment about something I bought and have never been able to get to work-- the Touch-N-Flow.  I haven't had much trouble getting the cement into it, I just can't figure out how to clean it out afterward (I know, follow the instructions--- I did, without success).  You sound like an expert at using this thing, so can you tell me what I'm missing?  By the way, I think the idea of using the syringe is a good one.  At the local drugstore I can get plastic syringes (no needles) that have straight or curved tapered tips that can be trimmed to produce an opening just the size you want.  It's probably a little more controllable than the rubber ball syringes you're referring to.  I use the plastic syringes to precisely place putty in order to cut down on sanding and clean up afterward.  Sounds like they'd work for drawing cement into a Touch-N-Flow as well.

When you see it your gonna wonder why you spent $6+/- on a glass tube with a needle attached, but the first time you use it....then you'll know why!

Until it clogs the first time, then you will be wondering that again

You know I was going to say something about it clogging but I decided not to...If your using Pro-Weld fixing the clog ( I rarely get them, but I have had an occasional one ) is as easy as putting the metal tip back in the bottle for a second, take it back out wipe on a paper towel and your good to go again

I might run to the drug store and see about getting 1 of those.  I quit using my touch and flow because I found that it would lose interest in refilling after 2 times.  Maybe now I could get it to work full time instead of part time.

If you have any of the little clear paint tubes, the ones used to draw paint from the bottle for mixing, they work great, and they are pretty cheap. I bought a set of mixing bottles and got 3 of those, and I still use them, of course, I don't use them for paint, but they are great for drawing the Tenax into the TNF and using them for thinners.
