CA delivery apparatus

[John Ross]

CA delivery apparatusHi John, the problem I see with the minute portion dispenser, is, it will clog up in no time.
The needle, or extension tip might give you a larger drop then you want. But, just use a Q tip right away for clean up. You could try soaking it in acetone, well dampen it anyway. Q tips are cheap.

  Maybe I should have said <for the bottle>.
  The bottle with extension tip doesn't cut it. Flood-R-Us.
  I want more control than a squeeze bottle which is prone to drip.
  It just delivers too much too fast. Even its 'one-drop' is too much
  and the tip is too broad for pin-point application.


  I'm looking for a precision application of a deliberate quantity
  delivered in an absolutely controlled fashion. That's why I'm
  questioning whether a lubed hypo will deliver a precise,
  controlled amount without contaminating the CA and whether
  the plunger can be controlled precisely; which was the reason
  for a screw-drive appliance for the hypo, much like a caulking gun
  but on a much smaller scale.


  I want to get an ever so small amount of CA at the base of the pin
  so that it will wick right in and not pool or migrate. Get the picture?
  Less is more.


  I know a drafting pen will apply a minute quantity with precision.
  The tip of the pen touched to the pin can deliver just enough to flow
  down the pin. Multiple taps can slowly and precisely deliver material.


  The best scenario would be to apply the CA and not have to mop up.
  Just enough to size the pin and not flow onto the notch or migrate
  down the string.  Even if it takes a few applications. Not everything
  should be accomplished is a hurry.


  Imagine being able to apply the needed amount without
  making a big production of it, no surprise or fiasco.
  Unobtrusive as a chop-stick voicing tool.


  Think finesse.

  PS  Next, I'll want a paper punching dispenser
         like the Good Humor guy had to make change.  :-)
