The way I apply my wood glue is , I put it in a Syringe and thenI can really controle where and how much I apply...I buy my syringes from the drug store 50 at a time. They have curved plastic tips that reach in tight spots...You can refill them over and over....I use mostly tightbond111 I have been building with it for yrs and I know how to make it work for me...I use CA on a limited basis..I just dont trust it .. Somtimes I can get a good bond and somtimes not so good..I know its me ...
