FYI-
Don't know if this will work with the syringes (haven't gotten that far yet),
also don't remember where I learned this but, vinigar is a great solvent for
un-curred epoxy. I have cleaned my hands, work-table etc of epoxy spills many
times and the vinigar cuts the glue really well.

Out here in "the sticks" we can get syringes and needles at most any
farm-supply store. The veterinary size items (16 ga needles and
10-20cc syringes) work better with epoxy than stuff for people.
The WEST syringes are usually reusable if you let the epoxy harden and
then "pop" out the slug left behind. I generally just toss the vet
syringes and needles after one use (encapsulated in a bit of leftover
hardened epoxy, there's almost no "sharps hazard").
