They have lots. gauge opening p/n price($US) 14 0.063" 6699A1 $14.89 16 0.048" 6699A2 14.78 18 0.034" 6699A3 14.67 20 0.024" 6699A4 14.56 22 0.017" 6699A5 14.44 24 0.013" 6699A6 14.33 Above are bags of 50, fit luer lock syringes (which is what Kester paste comes in). You can snip the tip off to make a larger opening if the one you get is too small.
