Asking in both generals:
Say that I have some clear Chinesium parts, and I used a pin vise to drill a couple holes into the void and plan to fill it with melted sprue goo (made from the same runner that the parts came from). What kind of tool would work best for the purpose if I plan to clean and re-use it? In this particular case, since it's runner goo that's been melted down using MEK substitute, I don't want something made of plastic that would melt upon contact with the goo. I don't need something high volume, so 1-2 mL is perfectly fine since this is for modeling purposes. The tip also doesn't need to be super long, but something made of metal would be nice (again, so it doesn't melt upon contact with sprue goo) and thin enough to fit into the hole I drilled with the pin vise.

Need a consult on purchase of some equipment:
