: I assume you use two syringes -one for resin, one for hardener. If
: so do you clean them after every use?:

When I used syringes this way, I just 'stood them up' (nozzles up) in a tin can between uses. It seemed to work fine.
If you leave them too long, they can get a bit 'crusty' around the nozzles- a quick wipe with (two different pieces of) paper towel wetted with alcohol cleans them.

I did find that the ink mL markings on some syringes 'smudged' with epoxy/solvent contamination, so that limits their life.
