Application tools and tricks

For applying a very small amount precisely, I have made a tool from the eye end of a sewing needle.

To make it, simply grind or sand the eye becomes a "U"  Then take some very fine sandpaper (600 grit or better) and ease all the edges.  To use, place a small amount of superglue in a plastic container - the top of a film canister works well - and dip the "U" end in.  It will retain a small amount of the glue, but will transfer readily from there to the surface you wish to apply it to.  You can control the amount by the size of the original sewing needle.  When the needle gets clogged a soaking in a jar of acetone will clean it up nicely.

It can be as simple as a toothpick or a small piece of wire. Custom tools can be made from a chopped sewing needle as shown below.
