Hi, Brian. Understood. That might've worked here. The knuckled OGK has a harder, more plasticky layer, exposed near its boundaries, and underneath/within its foamier softer surface in its middle. But a medical syringe might've been sharp enough and tough enough to penetrate it and deliver an effective alcohol dose. During the time I was hopeful of getting this done non-destructively, I decided that using the syringe I had (certainly not medical; pretty large bore) actually consistuted destruction in itself. If you saw a medical professional coming at you with a syringe like mine it would trigger a fight-or-flight response.
