This large plastic 12cc syringe is an ideal glue applicator for when a brush just won’t do. With this you can securely place the tiniest bead of glue in the exact place every time. Nip off the tip for a larger glue stream. Washable and reusable.

a good tip is to put it nose down into a glass of water after you have used it, just to make sure it’s washed out for next time.
