I use q-tips, I don't soak anything. The holes between the 2 I'll hit with the iso soaked q-tip from both sides. If that doesn't work I have a set of picks that I can stick in the holes to scrape things loose. These are what I have... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BKYRM6/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_AtiVDbBSFR6F5
I've had to bend a few pins back here at work. Its really not that hard. Get yourself a set of metal dental picks like these http://www.amazon.com/HTS-152P1-Stainless-Steel-Probe/dp/B000BKYRM6/ref=sr_1_10?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1443791953&sr=1-10 and a good magnifying glass
Just be careful you don't bend others while you work on the bent pin
You wouldn't want to go straight from the syringe. Not only would it be pretty messy, but the plastic would melt as soon as it touches the nail. Then you'd be smoking plastic, and that's no good for anyone. Most places have "dabber tools" for roughly five to ten bucks, but I like to use dental probes. http://www.amazon.com/HTS-152P1-Stainless-Steel-Probe/dp/B000BKYRM6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429287342&sr=8-1&keywords=dentist+probe
I see you have a box cutter to weed with, don’t. Order some metal picks, dental picks work great, from amazon like these
The get a scraper like this to press it to the transfer tape first and then smoothly with out wrinkles or bubbles to your disk.
I’ve been doing vinyl on shirts, cups and signs for a side hustle for years now. You don’t want to try to weed with a box knife and credit cards aren’t stiff enough to do a good job of smoothing.
Same thing happened to me this last weekend. They used a dental pick to get it out. Works perfectly now!
Maybe something like this would work? Or perhaps these, you could pick lose any tobacco in the draft hole from inside the bowl.
