Applying Super Glue

Problem with the toothpick technique is that the glue fairly quickly builds up oon the tip, and what was once a fine-pointed device becomes less so and makes it hard to dispense tiny drops of glue.

I have an old paintbrush handle into which I’ve sunk a sharp sewing needle where the bristles used to be. I drip the super glue onto that, and it’ll hold just a tiny drop, if necessary, and makes directing it to exactly the spot where you need it pretty easy. Whenever a coat of dried glue begins to build on the tip, I take a blade and scrape it off, right down to the metal. Been using the thing for at least five years now, rather than thousands of toothpicks…
