Safe to prep shots?

**tangable** · 08-14-2008, 05:24 AM

Is it safe to pre draw your shots a few days in advance? if so how long can you have them sitting in a barrel? or if you cant why cant you?

Cheers,

its not the best way to go about it but ive done it before and i put the syringes in a ziplock bag and added a few drops of isoprop and ive never had a problem

Some solvents can corrode the rubber plunger in the syringe then your kinda f***ked!

Yes you can but not sure how long you can keep it sitting in there for it would depend on the gear, but a few days should be fine and as freakish says putting the syringes in a ziplock should be fine.

It depends on the base of the solution because of the rubber stopper.

Yea thats its some bases will erode/corrode the plunger, not sure which is the correct term in this instance.

Not sure how it happened but I put 10cc's of clean tren into an empty hard plastic saline bottle and a week later I had all kinds of shit floating around in there. Had to have been eating away at the bottles lining. Needless to say that 10cc's got tossed in the can.

Yea i'd be careful with that, sounds like a bad habit to get into. A lot of solvents can eat away and dissolve some of the plunger/ plastic and you can't even tell by looking. I would say not to let them sit too long. Sterility should be fine tho if you do the plastic bag thing and keep them capped

some examples of solvents used in gear:
benzyl alcohol
benzyl salicate
benzyl benzoate
guiacol
ethyl oleate

each of those will eat through rubber on the stopper if left there

I always pre draw a weeks worth of shots at a time.....who wants to draw up there gear on a daily basis.....After a week, i have never had a stopper/plunger be corroded.....you must have some cheapass syringes....
