look up the word "Sparingly",,,,,just for grins, lol
I could not resist,,,,,that looks like someone told you to "apply a huge sticky glob of super glue",,,,,so you followed their words exactly
not being elitist at all,,,,,,,I probably have glued my fingers to something more often than gluing two model parts together (I make excellent finger prints in paint and liquid cement also,,,,,I have decades of practice)
