B-17 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Hi, I have a bottle of CA accelerator that has the pump spray cap. I always take the cap off and dab the siphon tube against whatever I am working on. I have been shopping around for precision applicator bottles, but was curious if anyone has a setup that they would care to share. Thanks in advance, -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Fine Transfers Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Timely question. I use a microbrush with my ancient bottle of Zip Kicker. You could check into getting a glass syringes with dispensing needles. A disposable syringe MIGHT work but I'm not sure if it will with you accelerator. You can get those at a pharmacy. You might also ask THIS GUY, he's an LSP sponsor too. B-17 and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stambaugh Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Hey B-17, I use an old Tamiya thin cement bottle. The cap brush is ideal. Just be sure to relabel the bottle. Martinnfb, B-17 and Archer Fine Transfers 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 What about an empty bottle of Faller Expert glue? Cheers Rainer B-17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 (edited) My mistake. Sincerely, Mark Edited September 14 by dodgem37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-17 Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 Thanks for the good suggestions. I think the Tamiya brush bottle seems like it might work the best for me. I just wish they sold empty bottles with the precision brush cap. John Stambaugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be careful because the brush might stick to the glue. Don't ask me how I know this. B-17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzacher Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 There is no need to actually touch the CA with the accelerator. I dip a brush (any will do) in the accelerator and hold it near to the CA. Then a careful blow of the accelerator fumes over the CA, and presto! B-17, Archer Fine Transfers and Hawkwrench 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had that happen to me and I though "that's odd", so my suspicions are validated. So I guess one of these will do the trick. LATE EDIT: Of course you'll have to cut off the part of the tube that extends down into the bottle so that when you squeeze the bottle only fumes come out. Otherwise, well you know.

GrahamC Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I made a CA accelerator applicator like this: using one of the CA bottle fine tip extenders and the squeeze bulb from an eye dropper. I often decant a wee bit of accelerator into a small mixing cup first and take what I need from there with this applicator just so I don't have a large bottle sitting open on the workbench waiting to be knocked over. cheers, Graham B-17 and Out2gtcha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea. What do you clean the empty bottle with? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 My ZAP CA accelerator bottle has a brush included in the cap. It was an optional cap given in the box besides the classical spray one. It is quite similar to a glue bottle one. I simply put one tip of the brush close to the CA glue and the capillarity does the rest! B-17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
