  1. There are ways to tint CA glue. One method I have found, although I don't use it often, is epoxy pigment from Tap Plastics. Pour a little CA glue into a shallow dish and mix in a very small amount of the pigment with a toothpick or something similar. You have to use a very small amount, or else it will set up immediately. If you are using the right amount, you should get a few minutes of open time. I have only tried the white and black Super Pigment versions, but they have another type of pigment in lots of different colors that might work as well. Another way, if you are filling a cra
  2. Thanks for the welcome, breadneck. It is kind of a weird tip, but effective. Something else you could do would be to bypass the spout altogether. Just take it off (it unscrews off that tube, right?) and squeeze some glue into a small tray. You could use a plastic or metal bottle cap or something similar, as long as it is dry and there is no liner on the inside. Then use a toothpick, paperclip, or a brush to get a little bit of the glue from the dish and apply it directly. CA glue won't cure very quickly just sitting in a dish, as long as the surface is not something it will react to. Or
  3. Triarius is right on about CA glue curing with moisture. Storing glue in those conditions will definitely help with the shelf life. If you want to just keep the spout from clogging, these are the two best ways: 1) Before putting the cap back on the spout, turn the bottle or tube upside down and squeeze until the glue is about to come out the tip. Then put the cap back on and store the bottle upside down so the tip stays full of glue. This may be counter-intuitive, but CA glue clogs the spout when there is just a little bit of glue surrounded by air (containing moisture) in the tip. If
