I don't bother with rivets or taping each outlet.  They don't drip
significantly.  I put a tape over the entire outlet area once the chambers
are all full.

The main things I've found is to be sure you are at a sink that your wife
won't kill you when you stain it with ink.  Also, until you get the hang of
it, wear an apron or old clothes.

Fill the carts in an evening and let them sit on the printer over night for
the air to float up away from the printer intakes.

>Are empty cartridges with poppet valves available anywhere?

Not that I'm aware of.

Good luck.
