<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; ">Another way to apply glues. I haven't tried the syringe and q-tip yet. But I needed a way to dab glue into corners and spots. And I hit on this. I take a 1/4 inch balsa stringer, go over to my garage pencil sharpener and grind a pencil tip to it. Works very easy. Then I take the "square pencil" tip and dab it into my glue, dab it where I want it and smooth it out the way I want it. I like to use about a 12 or 14 inch long stringer as you can get between clamps, rubber bands and what ever else you use to hold parts together with from a pretty good distance away. It works really good in those hard to get at places. I like to use balsa as the tip will soften up a bit as it soaks up the glue and you can almost use it like a paint brush. When the tip gets ratty, just sharpen it up.</span>
