RevellContacta Liquid Glue with Professional Needle Applicator

I recently had the displeasure of realising how easy it is to snap Battletech miniatures off their bases, and had need of something with high precision and works well in a short amount of time.So I decided to give this a whirl and the tip is *excellent* for the level of detail I was working with, where a Phoenix Hawk is held to it's base by only a milimeter and a half of material. Despite having to fiddle with it for a few seconds, the glue remained solvent enough for me to hold the mini in place and re-adhere it to the base, then left it to cure.10/10, would recommend for anyone whose doing precision work with tabletop miniatures.

The best model glue, it does what others do but the needle applicator nozzle is superb. Great for fine gluing or miniatures.

This is a brilliant plastic glue, but there are some design issues with the cap and metal applicator. So, before you buy this you should know.Issue one - METAL APPLICATOR TUBE STUCK IN CAP:Make sure your metal applicator tube is snuggly inside the bottle before applying the cap. Once you start using it, keep the bottle standing upright and don't push the cap on tightly, this should stop the metal applicator tube getting stuck inside the cap. Make sure you haven't left a drop of glue on the outside of the metal applicator when putting the cap on. Tap the base of your bottle against your work surface to knock off any drips of glue, the angle at which the bottle sits naturally should stop droplets sitting on the applicator tube. If the tube does get stuck inside the cap you should be able to use some pliers or tweezers to pull it out, twisting before pulling will help to release it, just don't squeeze too hard on the tube as you may compress it and break it.Issue two - BLOCKED METAL APPLICATOR TUBE:Firstly, you can remove the metal applicator by just pulling it out. Just remember to put the cap on while you are cleaning out the blockage. Sometimes it's possible to clear a blockage by simply tapping the tube on your work surface, blowing through it or running water through it. But, I would recommend having a very thin wire handy to unblock the tube. It will happen eventually and there isn't much you can do to stop it as the applicator tube is so thin. The best (and cheapest) way I have found to do this is to strip an old cable (like that old phone charger that you no longer own the phone for) and take the thinnest wires from it, twist them together and use that to clean out any blockages. If the wire is thin enough you can make a little metal brush out of it by simply twisting a few strands together between your fingers. As long as it fits down the tube it should unblock anything in there very easily. If that doesn't work, try submerging it in a solvent for an hour or so, then use the wire. Whatever you use, just make sure to wash and dry it off properly before putting it back on the bottle. Blowing down the tube and giving it a shake in the air should clean any liquids in the tube. After it is fully clean and dry, make sure to put it back and ensure it is snugly fit in the bottle.Hopefully, that helps with these common issues.

Good glue easy to use it came quickly

Works well and good price

best glue out there for model making in my opinion.

Not been able to use yet as no glue will come out of the metal tube, need a thin wire just to poke down the tube to clear it then should be ok

Brilliant product. Can apply just the right amount
