Sorry, I thought I had posted both!
Whenever you use a thin Super Glue (CA) have a paper towel handy!
It can get away from inexperienced or expert modelers.
I apply the glue held in my right hand.
In my left hand I'm holding the parts to be glued. The paper towel is right behind it ready to pick up any excess.
Hold it upright with the Teflon tip facing into a paper towel.
Squeeze the sides of the bottle blowing the glue out of the narrow tube.
After blowing it out into the paper towel squeeze again and listen for air noise (a hissing) coming out of the tube. This lets you know the tube is clear with less chance of a clog later on.
TIP: Super Glue will last much longer if it is stored in the refrigerator.
Just be sure is is wedged in so it can't fall over! Don't set it in the moving door of the fridge.
If you play the guitar you can use a standard "B" string to clear the tube.
A light gauge B string is 0.016" in diameter.
Cut it about 3" to 4" long. Leave the ball end on the string for a handle.
If the tube still won't clear or is too short after cutting off new angled ends, pull the old tube out and replace it with a new piece.
