CA delivery apparatusSorry, I meant, Jon. I am just so used to spelling it the other way. :-) John John M.

The needle, or extension tip might give you a larger drop then you want. But, just use a Q tip right away for clean up. You could try soaking it in acetone, well dampen it anyway. Q tips are cheap.

Maybe I should have said <for the bottle>. The bottle with extension tip doesn't cut it. Flood-R-Us. I want more control than a squeeze bottle which is prone to drip. It just delivers too much too fast. Even its 'one-drop' is too much and the tip is too broad for pin-point application. I'm looking for a precision application of a deliberate quantity delivered in an absolutely controlled fashion. That's why I'm questioning whether a lubed hypo will deliver a precise, controlled amount without contaminating the CA and whether the plunger can be controlled precisely; which was the reason for a screw-drive appliance for the hypo, much like a caulking gun but on a much smaller scale. I want to get an ever so small amount of CA at the base of the pin so that it will wick right in and not pool or migrate. Get the picture? Less is more. I know a drafting pen will apply a minute quantity with precision. The tip of the pen touched to the pin can deliver just enough to flow down the pin. Multiple taps can slowly and precisely deliver material. The best scenario would be to apply the CA and not have to mop up. Just enough to size the pin and not flow onto the notch or migrate down the string. Even if it takes a few applications. Not everything should be accomplished is a hurry. Imagine being able to apply the needed amount without making a big production of it, no surprise or fiasco. Unobtrusive as a chop-stick voicing tool. Think finesse. -- Regards, Jon Page PS Next, I'll want a paper punching dispenser like the Good Humor guy had to make change. :-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
