[Boatanchors] Question about plexiglass

[rbethman]

I do have a glass BD 10cc syringe.

However, even using the glass syringe has the issue that the only 
available needles have plastic luer-lock hubs.  I have not seen all 
metal needles since a Military Electronics Tool Box back in the late '70s.

There is no possible way to obtain them any longer.

There are some bottles, (Some form of flexible plastic, don't know the 
type, that can be obtained from a hobby shop.  These have a screw on 
metal piece with a straight needle tip.)

Sometimes you can locate glass bottles with an eye drop squeeze rubber 
tip that has essentially a needle inside of the cap.

Experimentation will be the decision factor.

I am leaning on the Plasticote Product.

One more option is Pacer Zap Super Glue.  Sticks to most anything!
