works for me as well but i've got a bit of a "twist". after i've roasted the aptaisia and the syringe is empty, i suck the rest of the tissue into the syringe. less chance of it coming back to haunt you.

I have some joes juice kicking around so I will try that, when that runs out, the boiling water method sounds like it's worth a shot and pretty economical.
The other thing that just occured to me is when I bought alot of this LR from anthony (seahorsefanatic) he mentioned that a spraydown with white vinegear works very well but it slipped my mind until just now. I am assuming that vineagar in a syringe would work just as well....
he has not led me astray so far so I think I have a pretty good arsenal here.....
thanks alot guys.

I've done lemon juice in a syringe with no problems. It works really well when your able to stick their stalks. They also bloat and turn purple a few moments after you've gotten them.
