Are there any tricks in keeping thee CA bottle tip from clogging and the cap clean? I've tried sticking a nail/pins in the opening, wiping the tip before putting the cap but it only lasts temporarily.
Mercury is a provider of excellent CA glues and they fully understand this issue. Their tops contain a metal pin that inserts into the bottle's tip when it is tightened down, preventing CA glue from clogging it. I love those guys.
No more clogging!!!

You beat me to the comments on tapping the bottle on workbench to make drops fall down.I also use the long tips and snip occasionally. I also find that by banging the container on the workbench a couple of times after each application, the glue will retreat into the container. That helps.
My trick as well. Very effective, both in purpose and cost.I use micro glue tips and just snip it down until it needs replacing. They are very inexpensive
They cost me around 20 CDN$ for 500. Very inexpensive.My trick as well. Very effective, both in purpose and cost.
Mine came yesterday. We'll see how they work. I did notice that the tubes are tapered so that as you snip off the clogs the delivery rate will probably increase. Is that just the ones that I ordered or are they all like that?My trick as well. Very effective, both in purpose and cost.
