The label says to cut off the rubber tip. One reviewer stated that the encapsulated glycerin will then drip out. Is that desirable?

Ok,should keep inside the dial. In my case I never cut off the rubber tip and work ok. As far I know the glicerin is to keep the dial arrow steady as possible.

no it is not the glycerin helps to make the gage work properly with the pulsation that a pressure washer makes

Personally I never cut them off, it does not seem to "dampen" their accuracy. Dennis

All pressure gauges sealed for the purpose of liquid-filling have a device to assure atmospheric compensation. A sticker on the case shows how to cut off or pierce a hole into the rubber placed at the top of the gauge after installation. If the rubber device is not opened, in addition to false pressure reading, sever personal damage may be resulted. (reference from the Indumart Pressure Gauges website: http://www.indumart.com/literature-pressuregauges.html)These type of glycerine filled gauges should be used and stored in a vertical position to prevent possible glycerine leakage. Some gauges can be refilled with glycerine by removing the rubber plug and filling with the aid of a small funnel.

You're right. It will drip IF the gauge is turned other than almost upright. Mine stays at a slight angle to make it easier to read and I haven't lost any fluid from it. Also, I really like the gauge. Not sure what the result would be if you didn't make the cut.

The gauge maker does not know how you are going to use the gauge and is trying to protect himself from damage caused by a low reading gauge. If you calibrate the gauge in a "cold" location (like a shop) and then install it in a hot location (maybe by a furnace), the glycerin will heat up, expand, and make the gauge read low by pressurizing the case. In this case, cut the plug and let the case pressure off. If you are using this gauge on a pressure washer and the environment is about the same temperature as a shop (as most people do) leave the plug alone. The glycerin will dampen the pulsations and the gauge will last longer.

dont take out the plug the glycerin will come out it is needed as a dampner for the gauge .

If you cut the tip, the glycerin will leak out. There is no good reason to do that.If you already did cut the tip, you can purchase more pure glycerin at any pharmacy and use to refill.

That's an archaic way of saying pull the trigger till the pump is primed and the solution sprays out the tip. Best, frankie Chocolate. Ps. check out my newest book on amazon, good guys bad guys and buffoons by frankie chocolate. you might see yourself in there.

I really don't think the probe can be removed form the bottle. That seems like a question for the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't help more.

If you have a pair of really good scissors you can cut into the bottle and get the last bit out. It takes some work, but can be done. I have done this a few times, and have gotten a couple more days out at least.

Shouldn't if you want the full affect of it. It needs to be from the medicine dropper as that's how it works the best. It would be useless in formula since that would dilute it.

I actually cut the bottle in half and use a knife or spatula to remove the remaining liquid. This may sound crazy or odd, but there is always a bunch left in the bottle. I do this for tubes, too.

Sounds like the paint is drying and holding the tip on. The tip should be finger tight. And once you use it then you should loosen the tip before it dries or leave the tip off until the next use. Also if it is difficult to remove I always use a cloth on the tip with a pair of pliers. But I always clean the gun really good so I don't have these problems when I go to use it again. I like this gun and have used it twice with great success. Hope this helps.

Frankly, I do not know. Based on my experience, the more aggressive the solvent, the higher the probability of damage to rubber parts. The trouble with Berriman is of the opposite nature: it is virtually uneffective.Speaking of troublesome solvents, in my modest opinion, there is one that outclass all of the dangerous chemicals for carburators: surprisingly, it is called gasoline with ethanol blends....Sorry for my bluntness.

yes, it can easily be cut in 1/2 without disturbing the sustained release. I did call Jarrow's product specialist abot this issue to use for a dog. He pointed out the main concern would be a rough edge when swallowed. We are able to soften that either with a file or by premoistening before administering the dose. Either works fine. And the time release factor stays intact because the NAC is embedded in carbomer.

Jason I would try the best I could to keep it off rubber and plastic parts. If you accidentally get some of this solvent on any rubber or plastic parts simply wipe it off.

That's not recommended. The membrane is there for an important reason and liquid rubber probably isn't strong enough to remain intact without a membrane.

It is a problem. I am not that happy with how they have sealed the top. The first time I used this in a Tri, I did not secure the inner bottle down with the rubber band and it was creeping up. I pushed it down only to be drenched with gatorade. So for the next 55 miles of my ride, I was very sticky. I ended up making my own gasket to seal the top. You then need to open it to refill, but it is better than having the liquid come out of the bottle.

Leaving a Powerlet in the pistol is not good for the seal and may damage the valve over time. It's also not a good safety practice. Besides, as Les pointed out, the CO2 will eventually leak out.

I switched one out and I didn't notice a residue, but I did put one right on after I took it off so I can't say 100% for sure that it doesn't leave a slight residue. If it did, I would imagine you could remove it with alcohol on a q tip.

It doesn't leak for me if I am careful to remove the little pull-off tab first. Then turn the cartridge over and twist off the cap over the ink. I suppose that, if you see excess ink when you twist off the cap, you might want to have a paper towel available to blot the excess ink (but this has not happened to me so long as I remove the little pull-off tab first). I confess that I, uh, didn't read the instructions the first time I put in one of these cartridges - I removed the twist off portion first - and it leaked. Now I am careful to follow the instructions about what to remove first when installing a new cartridge.

Twist the Black thing. When you are going to use take it out. When you finish put it back. If is too hard to put the drop of thermal compound, put the syringe inside a zipploc bag, close it and warm the bag with hot water for a while, 1 min if it too hot the water. It makes more ease to use.

No you don't. I have had latex paint sit in it for two hours. I wrap the tip with a soaked rag water and kept it away from heat and sun.
