Tech Tip
I have been using what may be the best applicator for center pin lubricant I have yet found. It is a very large syringe called a food marinade / flavor injector, available at most upscale kitchenware stores. The one I have has a capacity of 40 ml (7 teaspoons), which is more than enough for an entire action without stopping to refill, and the long needle can easily reach the butt centers of vertical actions. It fully disassembles for cleaning, and the fairly large bore of the needle never clogs. The injectors usually cost about $5-10.
