    could I use the MINI-LOOP APPLICATOR or the MICRO GLUE APPLICATOR from Micro-mark to apply this? I have the thick, gap-filling kind.

    keyrail,

    I have tried the Mikro Mark glue applicator, but the thick CA glue did "clog" the applicator very rapidly. Once hardened you can scrape the glue off, but after a while the plating on the applicator was worn away, leading to even faster clogging.

    I personally went back to a simple needle....

    Cheers
    Dirk

    Unless you are able to educate the CA it will think you are just trying to glue the applicator!

    Another interesting thing about CA glues that I have found, once opened it doesn't have a long shelf life as in other glues.

    It will greatly increase the shelf life of just about all CA products by keeping them capped off tightly and keeping them in the refrigerator.
    I have had some last me for 2-3 years with this method.
