: A little off the topic but I have to say that I found the baby
: medicine syringe to be totally useless. Did I get the wrong kind?
but when I try to squirt it into my
: bottles there is not suction. I guess the henna is sticking to the
: walls of the syringe and not staying at the bottom forming a vacuum.

Hmm, maybe you have too much air in the syringe? You are right, you do
need a vaccuum to squirt it out.

I had this problem where I was squirting the henna into a Jacquard
type bottle and it globbed at the top. I managed to get the henna
in by squeezing the bottle to expel all of the air out, squirting the
henna in, and then letting go. The bottle formed a vaccuum and sucked
all of my henna in nicely.

On the other hand, my method may not work for you because I'm not sure
if the syringe I'm using is a baby medicine syringe. I just grabbed
one of the 10 cc syringes used to feed antibiotics to one of my
bunnies. :)
