This may be common knowledge but I just discovered this and it works very well.

I was putting a drop of CA on a plastic plate then picking the glue up with a glue loop.
The CA gets thick or hardened fairly quickly and I had to repeat the process often
plugging up the loop.

I tried a small piece of Teflon and what a difference.
The CA seemed to puddle up in one spot and the surface tension changed to make the pick up easier
plus the glue stayed thin for much longer.
I found I could work for 20 minutes or more with the same puddle. If some does harden after a while just flex the Teflon
and the CA pops off. No need to keep changing spots to put the glue.
