Ross Clarkson Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi, Could someone recommend a good Thin Cyano that comes with an extremely thin applicator for doing the hinges on my new aircraft?Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Stevens Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Zap cyno - standard or foam friendly and get the applicators from Five Star Products. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Whisky Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can get both the Zap and the extra thin applicators from http://www.ModelFixings.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can make your own applicators cheaply to any size or length you need (within limits!) Take one cotton bud, plastic tube type. Heat the centre tube with a flame until it just starts to sag, pull each end gently until you get the right diameter. Stop pulling, let it cool, cut away from cotton buds with a sharp knife and you then have two applicators joined together. Cut 10mm of clean silicon fuel tubing and attach the applicator to the cyano bottle. When it clogs, throw it away and use the other one. etc. Takes about 10 seconds to make, much longer to explain!Edited By Richard Bond on 21/10/2010 09:45:23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smalley Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 sounds like a lot of work for a 10p applicator good idea though if i am ever short as for the cyno, i think i have tried every type out there and i have to say Zap stuff is the best the bottle clogs the least as well and if you buy in small bottles (whilst more expensive) you suffer least waste (unless you build loads of stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I've just removed two posts here. One commenting on a particular maker of glues and a reply from that maker. Neither helping the original poster. Both parties Pm'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 That's a pity David, it was so funny - I mean a self confessed large company bothering to make that sort of comment on a modelling forum He He He! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 One really good thin Cyano I've found with an effective thin nozzle that doesn't clog up too much is the Loctite Precision one that you get from tool & hardware shops (and boot fairs) - much better than some that are marketed for modelling.

Steve Hargreaves - Moderator Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Another vote for the Poundshop stuff from me....4 bottles for a quid each with a very nifty applicator....the glue's good too!!! They had a nice set of 4 tweezers last time I was there too..... Good to see Tim Hooper uses the stuff too......does this mean my Pixie Major will look as good as his.....? H'mm maybe not!!!
