Solder paste and flux dispenser
pvit:
About needle caps. I never seen before silicone heat shrink tubes https://atopelec.aliexpress.com/store/group/Silicone-Heat-Shrink-Tubing/118669_505069419.html. Those should be ideal for inner layer. I did not tied yet, but ordered. Will post result.

Tested silicone tubes for inner layer. Certaintly better than ordinary ones. Recommend instead of previous recipe.
Also, found PVC tube for dispencer's display. It looks more clear:

Great, but you really want a remote control e.g. foot switch.
Activating a button on the actual device is not convenient, if you're trying to simultaneously position it very accurately. This is why the compressed-air driven ones all have a foot switch.
But as I usually apply solder paste with one hand, my other hand is actually free to press a button or whatever, I will have any lights/ magnifier / board holders clamped so I don't need to hold those.
You just want it activated by anything *except* a button on the device.
NB: I really like the idea of a lead screw + small syringe, much more efficient than compressor+ dispensing machine + loads of tube flopping about all over the bench.

Current solution is to solder wires with pedal connector in parallel to button. If you see schematic, it contains required filters & protection units. I did not added connector on PCB, because it occupies a lot of place and is demanded not too often.
In other words, such request is known and solution exists. But i'm open to any suggestions how to improve.
