If the piercing needle is what closes the hole when you are done: How many times can one open and close it, till it starts leaking ? 5 times 10 100?

There is a gasket around the needle that holds the seal. It's the same material that is used in gaskets for compressors. If you cleaned the copper before installing, it should last a long time.

After you thread the plug into the needle and insert it into the hole in the tire about half way, you push down on the round thing and push it against the tire and plug you just put in (the round thing moves up and down on the needle). Then, you slowly pull the needle out while holding the round thing. It keeps the plug from pulling back out of the hole while you are pulling out the needle. Cheaper versions of these kits don't have these round things and often times the plug pulls part way back out while trying to remove the needle. Having it on this one makes it nice. Hope this helps.

I just changed by the clock. It holds a full ounce and most women will not fill it up even if it has been twelve hours. I have a very very heavy period and can fill it up all the way up but know that it is full with a whole ounce of blood when it will start to slid down a bit. It does that as the content over flow. Do not let that worry you as it holds as much a three super tampons and it will not have to be emptied near as often as you currently change a tampon. If you have not filled it to the very top and it has leaked then you did not insert it correctly. If it inserted correctly then it will not leak unless it is full to the very top and that is a whole lot of blood. More blood then most women make in twelve hours.

No trick, June! Just snip the tip off the nozzle! Start with just a little bit, and snip a little at a time until you see the opening. If you snip too much, the hole is bigger than you need and the cap doesn't stay on well.

As Woo-man described, just like a syringe. When done, be sure to thoroughly rinse out the needle tip by running warm water through the needle (it may take a minute for the water to push the bait out of the needle). If not, it will get clogged and you'll be unable to use it again.

Your hole should be just perfect enough that you have to screw in the nipples with a socket or wrench. That tight of a fit. If it's not like that then you have a hole size issue. If it is tight then you have a sealing issue. Easy fix.

I think the 1/2 cc syringe may be too short for the needle to come out of the sleeve but I cannot be sure. I use a 1.0cc but only use .20 in the syringe. it is a fantastic help to inject yourself. I would never attempt without the inject ease. If you switch to the 1.0ml syringes I am sure it will work for you.

answer to your question very broad it all depends where it is leaking if it is cross thread , the oring is damage or not tighten enough it will leak. I hope this helps and you can solve the problem good luck

The needle works with the corresponding tip, when I changed mine they would not fit together if I used the wrong size needle and tip, I just used it yesterday the needle may also have a stamping on the brass sleeve of the needle.

There is a curved needle that would work better, but any needle would work if you are careful when sewing up the rip/tear. If you expect to sew and make the tear more water tight then keep the stitches closer together.

I started with .5mm, then 1mm and currently am using 1.5mm. The "discomfort" gets a little worse as you move up to a longer needle length, but doing it in steps makes it a little easier.

Some people use much smaller syringes, and need the spacers removed, or the needle won't reach the skin. I don't use any spacers for my 3/10cc syringes, but you need to use a different cap (that comes with it), and sometimes spacers for the larger sizes, like 1cc. From 'cocked', to 'fired' it only about half an inch, maybe even less. The needle, once fired, should just stick out of the device, with the base of the needle almost flush with the opening. I use the short needle, so I can't cut down on how deeply it injects, but I imagine if you use the traditional length you can adjust the depth with spacers.

It works that way for me. No leaks. For best results lube the plug. I used a very light coat of silicon grease, which I rubbed in and wiped off extra. Seals and opens easily now.

You can replace individual needles as they break. I usually wait until I have 2 or 3 to replace. This is a nice machine for the price.

Just replace the broken one. Also, you don't have to have all the needle slots filled to operate the machine. Some small detail work only needs a couple of needles. I'm no expert--just a newbie user. Enjoy creating!

Hi Jared C. There are two options. One without extension ring and other with ring. With extention ring the needle penetrates about little less than quarter inch and without it goes little less than half inch.

I don't know since I only use it with the spacers. If you are not using the spacers, you can just inject. The spacers hide the needle.
