Inexpensive super glue applicator

RELATED TOPICS: GLUING
Why spend money on fancy super-glue application tools? You probably have the best tool for this in your house right now — for free! I used a cutoff wheel in a motor tool to open the eye of a sewing needle (wearing eye protection, just in case). Insert the shaft of the needle in a pin vise. The eyelet will hold a tiny amount or a large drop of super glue and allow you to deposit it with pinpoint accuracy. Wipe it dry with a paper towel after using it. If it should clog, hold it over a flame for a second or two and wipe it clean.
