Liquid Glue Applicators

For many years, I've used a squeeze bottle with a very thin, blunt hypodermic needle appicator for Tenax..................but my bottle has seen better days.

Are there any bottles out there with very thin needles? I've tried the ones with larger bore needles, but they tend to pour, not precisely apply the Tenax.

look in a pet shop for a bottle to feed baby animales . your bottle top may fit them.

Being new and an active member of another forum I found an idea from them, someone said to try a syringe with a dull needle used to fill ink cartriges. so I got some off ebay, and did the water test to simulate liquid cement.. boy are these gonna work great one drop at a time, long needle easy reach, etc etc

I use something that sounds exactly like what you've described. I get mine from Caboose Hobbies, in Denver, but you can order from them online. Is this what you need?

I like the Touch'n'flow applicator.

As that I've ruined two of these, don't use the touch-n-flow as a superglue accelerator applicator. Sounds obvious, I guess, but I kept thinking, the accelerator is only going out and won't clog with CA. Apparently capillary action pulls the glue back into the tiny applicator tube.

I've tried using the TnF applicator with Ambroid/Tenax and it clogs about 1/2 the time I use it. (and I've got three of em) It doesn't help that whatever plastic holds that needle in place is very susceptible to liquid cement.

When it does work, it's awesome. But I'm using beaten up paintbrushes more.

If your capillary applicator clogs, just tip it in the Tenax for a few seconds and then touch it to some paper. It will happen now and again.

I just use a brush or a bow pen.

That is exactly what I was seeking!

Thanks!
