A way to use glue on your model
To glue small items on my model without spoiling most of it I always use a medical syringe of 1 ml.
For the normal transparent glue I put a needle-pin in the end of the needle to store it. For the CA-glue put nothing in the needle. When the needle is filled with dry glue use a small flame of a lighter to unstop it. ATTENTION THE VAPORS ARE POISONED!!!!!  This way you can glue with very small drops of glue and work secure on the model. I'll hope you like the tip. cees

Re: A way to use glue on your model
I've been using some small straight pins to pick up tiny drops of glue from wax paper. I've also ordered the replacement tips and applicator accessories from E-Z Bond. Please let me know if you believe this is a waste of time/money. Also, where would one acquire 1 ml. medical syringes?

Re: A way to use glue on your model
I've been using small syringes for glue for many years, & can attest to their usefulness. Rather than hypodermic needles, sometimes I like to use flexible plastic tubing such as is marketed for i.v. sample collection.

Re: A way to use glue on your model
I use 10 and 20ml hypodermics for gluing but I recently found a great source for cheap syringes. The food market sells what they call "flavor injectors". They're large syringes to inject seasoning in meat but they work just as well on wood ships for wood glue. They may be slightly large for CA glue.

Re: A way to use glue on your model
When I was in Missouri, there were vetranary suppliers all over the place where you can get the needles and syringes. Anyone serious about cattle has to have access to that stuff. Dan

Re: A way to use glue on your model
 Here in the Tampa area they've just started advertising a wood glue named "LocTite" on television. Accordingly its supposed to be stronger than nails.Although it comes in a cylinder and is supposed to be used with a a hand held caulk/gun dispenser. I'm thinking along the lines that if its sold in a small tube, then maybe a small amount of it can be applied with a toothpick. Landlubber7 Henry |
