A "lifehack" for precision gluing
If you have a really really tight crack to glue, an extremely thin CA can wick in perfectly but you need the finest of tips. And really thin liquids tend to run out of the common applicator tips, pouring all over.
The needles of an insulin syringe are typically 28 to 31 gauge - meaning they are much finer and smaller than any applicator tip. This is perfect for ultra low viscosity CA glue, and the syringe "holds" the glue from running out. I've used these for very tight cracks and it works great. If you don't know someone with syringes (person or pet) here is the lifehack: This is true in New York State (not sure of all states) To discourage the re-use and sharing of syringes, you are allowed to purchase a quantity of ten insulin syringes from any pharmacy in New York State without a prescription. You simply go and ask for them. And they are cheap. Not something you will need frequently but much better quality dispenser - disposable and easy to get.

Good tip. I have a bunch of these from caring for my dad's diabetic cat (RIP). Thus, another tip would be to check your local veterinarian.
