I have made several of them from cathetor injectors that I get from my vet. A compression fitting around the brass tube is necessary for a good job.

Be very careful that the material you use can handle the heat of the plastic. If not, it won't be pretty.

Ouch! Hope you weren't wearing cutoffs.

My home made ones sometimes develop a weak spot after about 20 uses. When I see a color change in the material, I toss it in the trash and pull out a new one as they only cost a couple of bones to build.

That looks like it freaking hurts!!!!!! Sorry to see that. I've been there so I know your pain. To me, it is very much worth the investment of getting good injectors from one of the guys like Bears, Basstackle or Del. I think Lurecraft even sells them now. Well worth the money.
