Reviews : Flex-I-File Cyanoacrylate (C/A) Cement Applicator Tool

This is something I wish I had purchased years ago. The glue stays on the tip until touched to the model and places it right where you want it. This tool makes c/a gluing a lot less messy and gives your model a much more professional look when finished. It works best for me when putting a small bead of c/a on each part edge then let dry, next assemble the parts and touch this applicator to the seam and let capillary action do the rest. If the tip gets clogged just dip it in the c/a glue again and it will loosen it up quickly. Worth the money and makes gluing cleaner.

This is like a tiny tuning fork. It allows you to pick up a tiny amount of glue. Much less than a drop. Much better than trying to squeeze a small amount from a tube, or even using a toothpick. I use the backside of a sour cream lid as a palette, squeeze on a drop of glue, and then use this tool to move very small amounts of glue to where I need them. I suppose I could use a filed down sewing needle stuck in the end of a dowel, but since I didn't think of that first, I don't mind paying the guy who did. It's worth the money.

Was a bit iffy before I bought this because I always was a fan of tooth picks or even pins for such work. However the fork on the end of this tool holds the glue perfectly in place for you to dot it where ever you need to. It comes packaged in a protective plastic tube which I will keep to protect the delicate end. It also can be cleaned up if your a messy worker and let glue dry on the ends with a hobby knife as suggested by instructions You must get this save yourself future headaches, fork that glue up

This tool works great. It has two fork like prongs on the end for wicking and holding the CA glue. The glue will flow out from the tool when the tips of the forks are touched to the model. But...the forks are delicate. I was cleaning dried glue from mine and snapped off one of the forks. Now that I know I'll be more careful about keeping the tip clean on the next one I order.

I’ve been using needles and toothpicks and many other fine tipped objects for applying CA glue. I finally decided to purchase a purpose made applicator and haven’t looked back. Great length and weight. Tip seems to hold just the right amount of CA everytime. Clean up with acetone or a lighter, and wipe off carbon. Frequently used tool in my box.

I like this tool, but the brute that I am, I used my knife to clean the tip and broke it after only a few days. I found that I had a card of assorted sewing needles and trimmed and glued into the tool, and trimmed the eye to provide the same fork applicator... I still like the tool, and now have a cheap and ready set of replacement tips.

Nice tool! I too have used toothpicks, old paint brushes, even small pieces of sprue to try to put glue in confined spaces. And, works well on all types of cement, not just C/A. It is a delicate tool so be careful cleaning it, follow the directions. Glad to have this! Jay

Cyanoacrylate (C/A) Cement Applicator Tool, this is a very hand tool to apply a very fine drop of CA glue exactly where you need it. I would highly recommend this item. very easy to clean up, and easy to clean the tip if it gets a little junk build up.

This makes putting down CA glue so much easier! Toothpicks are great, but the in between times can make it difficult to continue to use it. This is great because all you have to do is scrape off the end with your hobby knife.

This C/A glue applicator helps avoid those blobs of glue that destroy a window or that paint job you worked so hard to get just perfect. It really works can't believe I went so long without it.

I’ve had this save me in some binds as well as break some bonds. Use it mostly putting debonder onto precise tight areas. Guarantee every single model built could have used this once

This really helps with applying the CA glue to just the right spot. Much better than a toothpick and easy to wipe off when done.

Been using toothpicks, this tool is much better and the CA seems to flow EXACTLY where I want it.

Does what it is supposed to. When you need precision during the gluing step.

Great tool to control the application of glue especially in tight spots

Works perfectly and arrived on time and in excellent condition!

Works really well helps with CA not going every where
