Super Glues and Teflon Tubes TIPS Part 1

If you buy the standard BOB Smith super glues you'll need tips or Teflon tubing to apply it with any control.
This glue is thin! If you don't use an applicator tip the glue will be all over your model, the bottle and your hands. The open nozzle by itself doesn't give enough control over the glue flow.
While some prefer the applicator tips, I use the Teflon tubing.
You can buy Teflon tubing in 2 foot lengths here:

On the right the blue cap has been removed from the nozzle of the CA bottle.

At the top is a small tip to be cut off.
The trick is getting it to the right size so the Teflon tube has a tight fit.

Cut the end of the long tube at an angle for easier insertion.
Cut of a little of the tip and test fit the tubing.
Chances are it won't fit the first cut end.
Shave off a slight amount and try the tube again.

I leave the tube long until I get the angled end in the glue bottle.
It took four tries, four thin slice cuts to get the nozzle opening to the right size for a friction fit.

Once it's in I'll cut it off with about 1/2" exposed. Some builders use a much longer piece.
The open end can be cut at an angle for easier flow and glue application.

Once the Teflon tube is in place you won't need the blue nozzle cap anymore.
