I'm diabetic and test my blood sugar then give myself an insulin shot. I end up with small syringes, Plunger covers, needle covers, and lancets (I grind the needle off) and have been everything but the syringes. These are on a 2 X 4 so you have some idea of size. I'm looking for ideas to use these pieces in projects on our model railroad. Here's what they look like.
I tried using a syringe to apply MEK for styrene bonding but it seemed like the needle wa either plugged or too small for the MEK. Ihave used the lancets as scrap metal loads. I painted them an aluminum color andused silicone caulk to stick them on a piece of styrene for a removable load. Here is a picture of that.
Comments? Suggestions? I'm too much of a pack rat to just throw everything out if there is a possible use for it.
