    My experience is that the syringes work best if you are doing the
    volume of work where you would use up the whole syringe in a few
    days. leave them around for a while and they coagulate. 

    I use an syringe applicator that is refilled from a jar and powered
    by compressed air. Very good when I have a big run of pieces like
    ear wires or pin joints but it tends to clog if not used for a
    while. This thing has the advantage that you can just replace the
    needle and that is usually enough, but you scrap out some solder
    every time you do it. Not so bad if it is silver solder but gold
    would be pretty wasteful. 

    The paste solder can be thinned with mineral oil.
