I use Zap Glues and i just cut a hole in the tip and dry fit the parts then glue one side, hold the parts together and thats it… i was reading something and they said that when gluing using cyanoacrolyte glues, you should apply it to the seam of what your gluing with a curved knife or something similar… anyone have any tips for applying glues, im open for chance im tired of gluing my fingers together with runoff…
I usually put a few drops on a piece of aluminum foil, or a small glass plate. Then I use an X-acto (or equivalent) handle with a piece of small music wire chucked in place. I simply dip the wire in the glue, and apply. If you want to apply a slightly larger dollop of glue, simply bend the wire tip into a small loop, or cut the eye of a sewing needle in half and chuck that in your handle. There are also ready-made applicators on the market, if you want to spend money. Check out www.micromark.com
Hope this helps

I put a little bit at a time on some wax paper, and then either use a sewing needle point or toothpick, depending on the application.
I have some of the medicenal cups, the kind that hospitals give you your pills/medicine in. Origionally got them to mix/thin paint but have found that if you turn them upside down on your bench (empty of course) there is now a recessed area on the bottom which perfect for dispensing CA. Origionally got the cups in packages of 1000 at a hospital supply store in Topeka but have lately found them in packages of 50 at Hobby Lobby and some LHS’s.
