Hi Folks,
    OK, so we want SS capillary tubing to make pens. Would someone who=20
still uses ink systems measure the length and the OD of the capillary=20
tube actually used please, so that we know what to look for ?=20
    Does anyone in the USA have a source of SS capillary tube ?=20
Someone must stock it ! I have bought it in 1 m lengths.
    Why are you bothered about teflon tube, when PVC wire insulation=20
tube is available cheaply ? Don't make the task any harder than it=20
needs to be !=20
    The smallparts prices seem to be idiotic. If you can get hold of=20
a sharpened needle, all you need to do is to snip the tip off with=20
wire cutters and it is no longer a medical injection needle !
    Can someone check Charles' belief that it is illegal in the USA=20
to POSSES a medical needle, please ? It sounds highly unlikely to me.=20
We have mobile clinics giving clean needles out FREE to junkies=20
prevent the spread of disease !
    Regards,
