: - glue syringe: this looks just like a syringe but the needle is
not
: sharp and is a little wider in diameter. It reminds me of what the
: Moroccan henna women use to apply henna. they come in various
sizes
: (30 cc, 10 cc and 5 cc, I think). Igave it a try and once I got
the
: henna flowing (a bit of a challenge) it was quite easy to get nice
: long and fine lines. The henna comes out fast so I will have to
learn
: to control it, but it was quite a thrill working with it. By the
way,
: I didn't suck the henna up through the needle but just dumped it in
: the other end and then pushed it through with the plunger thingy.
: Price: $1.19

I have heard of people using syringes to do mehndi but I've never
seen it done before. I was wondering if it would be more difficult to
control the flow of henna ? (I guess it all takes practice). Still,
it would be interesting to watch it being done.

BTW : I have a syringe that I use for my cat's oral medication. I
wonder if I could try that.

Tell us how it turned out :-) ....

Peace
