Glue Looper

Post by TobyC »

Just got one and I have to say it's one of the best if not the best tools I've ever bought. Perfect for applying CA.
Easily cleaned with a lighter. It just burns away any hardened or excess glue.
I have no connection with either the company or the company selling the product but I can heartily recommend it.

I like the dramatic music!
It's actually quite a good idea. Requires a steady hand, though. A problem for me!
And a good tip for getting rid of CA. I must remember that next time I get some on my fingers.

You can quite easily make a similar device from fine wire looped around a needle with the ends twisted together.
