Digital BW, The Print

Additionally, the syringes will eventually get very stiff.  To put this off
as long as possible, you can use a bit of silicone spray on the rubber.  I
spray a little on a folded paper towel (vent fan going) and just roll the
edge of the rubber plunger across the dampened paper towel before putting
the cleaned syringes back together and into a zip lock for storage.
