Silicone question

So while innoculating some jars today i noticed that some of the silicone got in the tip of my syringe. This ever happen to anyone? And is it ok cause i still flamed the needle after every jar. just tried not to melt the silicone on the tip.

there's something wrong if it gets stuck in the tip, use a sharp needle next time maybe? never happened to me, how old is your silicone and is it 100% silicone or acrylic based?<NOT as good

I had this happen, but I was able to push it out with the fluid still in the syringe.. if it goes empty, I am not sure what you should do to get it out. It seems like it should be ok though.

I wouldn't sweat it, silicone is generally harmless once cured. Shouldn't bother the jars as long as it was sterile, if it happens again probably wipe it off before flaming. Also, is it plain silicone or RTV? I use the clear Permatex RTV and it holds together real well. I haven't noticed anything coming off after 7-8 stabs with an 18 and 20g on an lc jar.

you should just get 100% silicone, it dries clear and wont stick to the needle. yours is an acrylic type...idk whats in rtv but im sure it costs the same or more than silicone.

well im sorry i said it was the acrylic type i dont know that it is, just that 90% of the white kind ive seen are that type...the thing thats wrong with acrylic type is that it doesn't stretch like 100%silicone does, it breaks easier thats why its getting stuck in the needle I THINK...silicone should just let the needle slide through, not sticking. If you get new needles and it still does it you should atleast change brand.
i cant really read that pic, im guessing you are saying its 100% right?

I'd go clear if I were you, it's the same strength and then you don't go trying to inoculate through a jar lid as i have in the past. Really bad on your needles..

I would use this stuff exclusively for reusable injection ports. Get it at NAPA.

Any silicone will work, no need to spend four times as much for RTV. A full tube of silicone is around $2 at any hardware store, just make sure it is silicone and not paintable siliconized. CH
