<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At our recent Arizona =
mini-convention-seminar, Jim
Coleman Jr. showed up with a new form of CA glue that he's helping to
distribute. I should have mentioned it before this, but the stuff is =
amazing.
The tips never clog up, the caps don't get glued shut, and it seems to =
be faster
and stronger than regular CA. It's called Cypox, and I'm sure we'll all =
become
familiar with it real soon. I bought the starter kit, and have only =
tried it on
a couple of test projects, but so far it's living up to all
expectations.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>An answer and a question:<BR><BR>Answer:<BR><BR>A while =
ago I
asked about the technique of storing CA glue upside down.<BR>What you =
do is
turn the glue upside down, and the squeeze it until a drop<BR>almost =
comes
out, and then put the cap on. The glue is then kept upside<BR>down. =
This makes
sure there is no air in the tip, and it keeps the glue<BR>from curing =
in the
tip. I said I'd report back on how it works.<BR><BR>It works! One time =
I did
have to push a pin through the tip to open the<BR>hole, but another =
time the
tip was fine. Since you let a drop almost come<BR>out of the tip, a =
concern
might be that the cap would get glued to the<BR>tip. It doesn't. Glue =
doesn't
stick to the inside of the cap well. The<BR>surface is too
smooth.<BR><BR>Question:<BR><BR>Suppliers of CA glue sell replacement =
spray
pumps for the accelerant. Why,<BR>I wondered? Well, mine jammed up. I =
guess
the accelerant gets a little<BR>gummy after a while. What do people do =
to
prolong the life of the spray<BR>pump? Can you take it out of the =
accelerant
after use and rinse it with<BR>water or a solvant?<BR><BR>Charles
