Filling syringe & where's that zero line ?

[mightymen]

1. Draw liquid into a syringe byinserting either the tip or the needle into the liquid and pulling the plungerupward.

2. Turn the syringe so that the tip or needlepoints upward and make sure you can read the numbers on the side of the syringe right-side up as you would read numbers on a printed page.

3. Note the number marked on each of the two long lines between which the top ring of the plunger (the ring closer tothe tip or needle of the syringe) rests. The last long line closest to the needle or tip is the zero mark.

Good tip. When making small batches, it is sometimes difficult to get the right amount, since the needle actually contains some fraction of liquid. I have measured this amount on my longer tips and when extracting from the bottle, try to add this to the amount shown on the markings. I can usually get quite close.
