Title: Injecting Pigs
Post by: The Woodsiders on February 09, 2015, 05:06:37 pm

Hi, can anyone tell me where I can purchase what I believe to be called a Slapshot Injection system, it has the needle one end on a long tube and the gun  holds the material to be injected. (hope that all makes sense)
Thanks in advance.

Slapshots can be very difficult to use due to air bubbles in the tube.   Oaklands posted a very useful guide on 5 July 2012 on how to overcome this problem.  Sorry I never worked out how to "quote" another post onto the current one, or I'd have copied it to here. :-[ ???
