my preferred way to dry a cartridge is to hold the hose from a vacuum cleaner to the exit port on the cartridge, fast and easy you don't need to worry about the size of the hose just place your finger over the excess opening you can control the amount of suction this way

ok joseph it was a little tricky to get the label apart after the hole punch popped it out, so i took my exacto knife to seperate the 2 pieces with the sticky side attached to the knife and applied it to the cartridge, it took 3 cartridges to get the hang of putting the correct amount of glue on...

interesting how hard is it to clean the glue out and does a percentage fall into the reservoir, would it help to use a small tea cup hook (the screw end) to pull the glue plug out

after years of removing the OEM ball in the fill hole and using silicone plugs (CLI and 220 carts), i got lazy and left the ball in place and drilled a hole for the plug in the little dimple on top of the cartridge next to the factory ball, this created a problem when i shipped several...
