Can you post a picture of the bottle with needle so I know what I'm looking for? I've used the fine paint brush with acrylic paint option which works ok but not nearly as nice as yours. This is how mine came out: I’ll post a picture tomorrow and I will try to find the Amazon link where I purchased it. Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Gary That's really good. I used the same letters on my daughters bag but I had to leave it plain because I didn't have these. Just ordered some. Thank you. Quote

I found a set on Amazon with multiple sized needle tips. It's more money but that way I can experiment to see which one works best for me. I didn't know they existed until I read your post.

garypl Posted September 13, 2019 Report Posted September 13, 2019 Sorry it is so late - been running around all day. Here are the bottles I ordered on Amazon in 2017: 6pcs 1 Oz. Multi Purpose Precision Applicator Squeeze Bottles+ 16 pcs Needle Tips+ 6pcs Needle Tip Caps Sold by: D-WORTHY Return window closed on Oct 15, 2017 They cost $12.59 for 6 bottles and 16 tips. I checked and Amazon no longer sells this set. Here is a picture: You can can see the wide range of tips - I use the smallest tips for better precision. 22 hours ago, Frodo said: Beautiful work ! Would a syringe and needle work? I think a syringe and needle would be too small unless you really dilute the paint. I use cheap acrylic paint from Wally World and thin it with distilled water so it flows through the fine tip easily. It has been holding up well in projects for a couple of years now.

mikesc Posted September 13, 2019 Report Posted September 13, 2019 Nope..you'll not have enough control via the plunger as if you were squeezing the sides of a more flexible bottle..its going to risk the paint coming out in a rush and ruining your work..and you'll wish that you'd bought the little bottles..they are re-usable.

He didn't mention what he intends to put in the syringe. You're assuming he's going to put paint in it Edited September 13, 2019 by TargetRockLeather Quote http://targetrockleatherworks.com
mikesc Posted September 13, 2019 Report Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) This is true...in which case , make sure and get the air out, an air embolism can really ruin your day..and 60ml may be a touch "overkill", if you'll excuse the phrase..
