Eureka! "I found it". Not only my state motto (from the Gold Rush you know....) but how I feel after one of those after the fact obvious solutions to a tough problem.
Recall I'm playing with the fancy syringes
@Steven found. He and I ended up independently ordering about the same assortment to play with. He struck instant success (easy to hate a guy like that, isn't it?). I was able to feed oil but not the wax I wanted. Just too stiff.
So, today I tried again. This time heating the whole thing in a cup of hot tap water. 15 minutes with 3 changes left it warm, but not uncomfortable. And only slightly easier to force it up. I made a dozen or so balls by cranking about as hard as possible with fingertips alone and waiting. And waiting. Then waiting some more. 30 seconds or so and a snake just long enough for a smallish ball came out. It'd wipe it off, roll it with my fingers and stick it in the box and go back to waiting.
Then, after it was over and I was looking at the still filled nozzle it hit me......
why have the nozzle? I took it off and all sins were instantly forgiven. The hole in the body is easily twice as large, no problem at all running a suitable ribbon now. And the loading cap seals it much better than the slip on cover can. And it's shorter by half an inch or so.
I think it was Einstein who said, 'sometimes the answer to months of research presents itself over a cup of coffee'. Somebody did, let's blame him?
Now here's the tough part:
Nobody tell Steven?. Let's see how long it takes him to think of it?
BTW the Ti nozzle should be OK I think, the hole is much bigger......but why bother and spend the money if you don't need it to directly dab?
OK, remember it's our little secret......mum's the word as they say.
