    Couldn't resist jumping in re syringes.  I have used them for years
    to inject wax.  But, I found that after injecting two or three times
    with the same syringe, the rubber tip of the plunger tends to jam
    (probably due to heat...expansion).  I resolved this issue by dipping
    it in mineral oil and then wiping it off with a paper towel.  I do
    this every 2 or 3 injections and it keeps the rubber cool, the correct
    size and also keeps it soft.  Try it. 

Cheers, Don at The Charles Belle Studio where simple elegance IS fine
jewelry!
