Default RE: Glue Fillets

Hey Guys, Thanks for the ideas. I stopped in a the local Vet. yesterday and picked up a couple of 10cc syringes and a needle. Wasn't sure how hard the needle was but tried a file on it and it did cut. I filed the point off the needle, cleaned up the small burrs and mixed some glue (about 2 easpoons ) with a couple drops of water. The needle and syringe worked great but the glue was a little runny. Tried again with unthinned glue and it worked just great. I thought I would have to thin the glue to get it through the needle, but not so. The needle I got is .050 O.D. and approx .032 I.D. The needle sure makes it easy to get into all the tight spots without making a huge mess. I got a beautiful little bead of glue right where I wanted it. Takes a little practice to control the amount of glue, but this does work very well.
