Red & Tacky how do you apply it?

I put it in an old prescription pill bottle and apply it with a toothpick. Nice and simple.

I use similar to this and use tongue depressors to scoop the R&T into the syringe. Helps being married to a nurse.

I keep in in the original tube, use a syringe to apply to worm gears, sometimes use a toothpick as Doc above alluded to.

See Roman's picture, works great!  Becareful not to overfill the gear box.  It will squirt out in unpredictable places.

I always keep a little in each a straight and a curved syringe, in my home-made maintenance caddy.  Small amount into the gears is all that is needed. 

I thought Red & Tacky were a old vaudeville team. Don

I keep mine in a prescription medicine container with a screw top. To apply, I cut the head off a Q-Tip.

Thanks for the feed back guy's. I ordered a curved tip syringe tonight.

Close, Don, it was Racky & Ted.

You're thinking of Step and Fetchit.

Chris,

Also, check into buying yourself a syringe that has a smaller tip. You can use this one to apply Red-N-Tacky to the axles of your prewar rolling stock. Red-N-Tacky works better than the lighter oils which gets thrown all over the place.(Just a thought)

food injector available at Walmart for about $4.

cut the pointed tip OFF. Instant toy train grease gun!!!

Popi,

  I use both the food injector type & the momoject 412 depending on where I need to put the R&T#2, my better half throws them away every once in a while cause they do get to looking a little messy, I have to come up with a front end grease tube nipple, for the Red & Tack #2 Greese tube, for loading my syringes, can't understand why Lucas leaves it off their tubes to begin with.  The great thing about the R&T#2 is that the R&T#2 is so tacky that it does not drip at all, when the train gears and axels get warm, the absolute right product for our hobby.
