Thank you! I'ts been 10 months or so, not exactly sure. I am so happy to be making videos again. I have about 100 on the list. I think I will do the ones that appeal to the most people first, veneer glue not being one of them, but I was gluing veneer so here it is. My goal it to put up 15 videosin the next 30 days but I want to see how far I can exceed that goal. Thank you for sticking with me and being patient. :) I really am back.
LOL, I found the syringes on Amazon before I saw your video. Then I came here to see if there was a video on cleaning out the syringes after use. Do you have any guidance on the cleanup so the needles and syringes stay lean for the next usage?
I do! I am going to make a video about. Those seemingly simple things are overlooked a lot of the time. I have two videos coming up that involve a glue syringe too. Those are not even on the "top 25 list". For now, if you are going to use the syringe a few times in the coming days or weeks, just drop it a glass of water that covers the tip up to top of the clear plastic part so both ends of it, with needle, are submerged. When you want to clean it, take the tip off and run it under warm water and use a paper towel or rag to wipe the glue off. Stick the syringe in glass of warm water without the needle and fill it with water and squirt it out in the sink. Do that until you can't see any evidence of glue. Then put the needle tip back on and do the same thing, several times, squirting the water out to clean the glue out of the needle. I would leave the needle off for storage so both parts can dry well. I will make a video too but that is how I do it. :)
@@NashvilleRestoration Thank you, thank you, thank you! I got an immediate need when I removed a bunch of my old musical instruments perched high in my entrance way. They had been neglected for a number of years and only got attention because I'm in the process of painting the entrance. I have a harp that I bought over thirty years ago. I noticed that the veneer that holds the strings down had started separating on the one side. I'm sure the tension of the strings had led to that separation. That led to the urgency of getting syringes at this time and the fact that I shall use them as soon as they arrive. Great information!
@@rothenbj Good call on the the glue syringe for that repair! It is an impossible feat without one. Let me know how that works out! Also, I fill my syringes before the needle goes on. I put the end right down in the glue bottle and use the plunger to fill it up. Then wipe the glue off the outside of the syringe and screw the needle on. It would take forever to fill a syringe through the needle. I also have a half way done video on my computer called "What is a glue syringe and how do I use it". I think I will finish that one up. Thank you!
@@NashvilleRestoration I think it worked fine. I'll know tomorrow when I take the clamps off. Glue went in easily and your recommendations for cleanup worked almost perfectly. I needed to use a safety pin inside the needle housing and wiggle it around under water to get it flowing in the needle. Once flowing I put the needle back on the syringe and drew and pushed water til it was perfectly clean. It's a shame you can't post pictures here because I took some before, during and will do one afterward. It's kind of a unique project because there's actually a force working against the glue since the strings are pulling against the veneer. I'm just hoping I put enough glue in there.
