very fine tip for CA glue

[dustin wassner]

I need a setup for CA glue that has a very thin tip for accurate placement of glue and less oozing all over the small stuff I am building.

I know there are small bottles with fine metal tips, but I just don't know how it would work with squeezing the CA glue from its original container to the new bottle. I also am not sure how cleaning the tip would work.

any suggestions?

thank you

I use a fair amount of thin and super-thin CA in pen turning, and the type of nozzle shown above works great for filling small voids (to flood powdered stone/metals into the voids). Immediate clean-up is a few light taps as i set the bottle down. If one dries, i toss it in my small container of acetone (lidded), toss on another and move on. They usually last a while, but mentally i view them as disposable--and build that cost into my pricing. My preference in CA glues is Mercury (really like the Flex line) or Bob Smith (BSI). I've been using GluBoost as a CA finish for the past several months--and really like it a lot. Had to adjust my finishing time a little, and use a lighter accelerator spritz than with Mercury Flex, but i'm getting good results. They don't make a super thin that i've found--so i'm still using Mercury for that and for thick.
