: Thanks for all the tips. I’m also building a wee lassie right now and picked
: up a syringe from Raka to apply the glue with. So far it’s worked great.
: Filling is a little tricky, but I’m using so little glue that the fillings
: are few and far between. The staining is always a worry too so I’ll quit
: doing the immediate wipe/smear/smudge.

Another good tool to use is the disposable pipette which looks like a lollie pop. It is make of those semi-transparent poly something that feels like clear squeezable ketchup bottle. It is available at Fisher Scientific or VWR Scientific catalogue. You dip the end into the epoxzy / glue, suck up the amount you need and squeeze out slowly. The control is fantastic with no drip. The down side is the company do not sell in small amount. Unless you have a friend who work in the lab, you are out of luck or lots of $ in your pocket.
