1. Apparatus for introducing a viscous fluid into an object comprising in combination:
a supply of viscous fluid;
a fluid pump having an inlet coupled to the supply of viscous fluid for receiving viscous fluid therefrom, the fluid pump including an outlet, and the fluid pump selectively pumping the viscous fluid from the outlet thereof;
a needle coupled to the outlet of the fluid pump, the needle having at least one port for dispensing fluid therefrom into the object when the fluid pump selectively pumps the viscous fluid;
a support for holding the object in which the viscous fluid is being introduced;
a stirrer disposed within the supply of viscous fluid to stir the viscous fluid therein;
a stirring motor coupled to the stirrer for rotating the stirrer;
an electronic controller for applying electrical current to the stirring motor for causing the stirring motor to rotate, the electronic controller sensing the amount of electrical current drawn by the stirring motor, and the electronic controller prohibiting the operation of the fluid pump when electrical current drawn by the stirring motor exceeds a predetermined threshold.
