Pete,
I use several size syringes. I used the term "dental" as a description of the tool type. I should have been more specific. The one I used with the Durhams is one I got from a Veterinarian. It is about 6" long and 1" inside dia. The nozzle has a 1/4" hole and I use it for filets, mostly. It did work pretty good for the Durhams. I did a lot of experimenting with consistancy of the mix. I found I needed more water than the can suggested. I think it's worth effort because the stuff is so easy to sand compared to epoxy filler.
