Ahhhh, I think we use the same thing LT!



I use it right out of the bottle, no brush. It has a fine tip applicator nozzle. The reviews I had seen on it says it dries almost instantly, which intimidated the crap out of me, but you actually have a good amount of "positioning" time. Is this the same one you use? Right out of the bottle?
Thats the buddy!!

Re: Glue Application Suggestions

I really like the stuff. I see myseld switching to just Liquid Glue soon, and 86ing the tube, most likely. So much better control with the Liquid.

The Testor's liquid I use comes in a glass jar and I use a natural hair 0 brush to apply it using old fashioned capillary action. Haven't used tube glue in years but it does still have it's uses when you want a slow drying glue so that you can adjust pieces while it's drying. Otherwise I use medium Zap Gap CA for most everything. I use an old #11 X-acto blade, a toothpick or a wooden skewer for precision application and straight out of the nozzle for normal stuff.
