CA aplicator
Posted by Misty on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 3:52 AM

One single hair from a brush glued to the end of a needle. works quite well for picking up tiny blobs of thin CA. this was a happy accident when i put the needle i was using down on a brush and it stuck , literally.

the ca tends to get picked up half way down the hair, very rarely at the end, but it still works if you really need the absolute minimum drop of ca especially  for small pe bits or lead wire.

I use the eyelet of the needle with the end cut off which looks like a small Y held in my pin vise. The open end will hold the thin CA and deliver that tiny drop where you want it.

Yep. That's what i was doing too until i suck a brush to it. But i find  even the smallest needle picks up too much can for the small stuff and swamps it.

Talentless

That's what's great about using the needle. I can control the size of the drop from just a tiny amount up to a huge one almost ready to drop to cover a larger area. And speaking of applicators, the Touch n Flow applicator works wonders with the thin Tenax or Plast i Weld but not for the thin CA.
