2. How should I fill the syringe with paste materials?
There are three ways you can fill the syringe with paste material. Overall, great attention should be
paid to prevent any air bubbles to be introduced while filling the syringe.
2.1 Add small portions of paste by using a teaspoon (Img. H2.1). After each portion tap the syringe on
a table or any firm surface to let the paste fall down to the bottom of the syringe and release any
air from it (Img. H2.2 - H2.3). Repeat it until you reach 1-2cm from the top of the syringe
(Img. H2.4). Then put the red cap on it and press it until it goes completely into the syringe
(Img. H2.5 - H2.6). It is important not to have any air between the paste and red cap, so it is
necessary to fill the full syringe if using this method. At the end, connect a nozzle of a correct size
by screwing it in the tip of the syringe (Img. H2.7).
