Super Glue Questions Part 2

Thin CA glue flows fast and can clog up the nozzle that comes on the bottle.

You might try to find some Teflon tubing to slip into the pointed nozzle end. I found some at Hobbylinc - CLICK HERE

You will have to cut a little more off the pointed nozzle to get the Teflon tube in. Cut off a sliver and see if the Teflon tube fits. Keep slicing off small bits until the tube friction fits into the nozzle.
Cut off 1/2" of Teflon tube and use tweezers to push it into the new cut hole.
When the tip gets logged, use a wire (I use a "B" string off a guitar) to clear it.
When the tube gets bad, pull it out and put a new length in.

After you are done using the glue you should clear the tube. Hold a paper towel over the nozzle tip and squeeze the bottle. This blows out the glue left in the tube and prevents dried clogs.

When using the Teflon tube, you don't put the cap over the nozzle.
Put it in the fridge with the tube in place and it should be fine.
