A Pinpoint Glue Applicator for Modelmakers

A modern industrial design firm's modelmaking shop is dominated by 3D printers. But there's still a workbench in there, where someone with good hands is tasked with doing the detailed work better suited for humans. This Glue Looper is a tool that belongs in that person's kit.The Glue Looper is used when you need to apply CA (cyanoacrylic) glue with pinpoint accuracy. The blade slots into a standard hobby knife handle. The tip produces a capillary effect, allowing the user to carry and administer a single droplet of glue to the right spot. Unlike with a syringe, which modelmakers often use for this application, there's no danger of overapplication.These are sold in packs of 10, which contain three different sizes for the loop tips: Two large, four medium and four small. The packs run $12.You'll note that in the demo video above, the Glue Loopers are distributed in 12-packs. It has since been reduced to 10-packs.
