I use leftover bits of stretched sprue as cyano applicators

Having various sizes to my liking, they are easier and more precise to use than, say, toothpicks. I just dip them into the cyano bottle...

...and apply the droplet...

...then wipe the "applicator" with a paper napkin...

Great tip, Spiros @fiveten
Nice way to precisely apply the glue.
This will also prevent the cap of the CA glue from getting constipated.

Clever idea Spiros @fiveten. Lord knows, I have plenty of those around.

Nice idea. Still working out when to use this kind of glue…

Thanks my friends @eb801 and @bernardbedeur!
Cyano can be even used as filler!
Eric Berg said 2 years ago:

Cyano does work great as filler especially in panel lines but the stuff does take a bit of extra elbow grease to sand it smooth.
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years ago:

Absolutely true, my friend @eb801! Many times I ended sanding the surrounding plastic more than the stuff itself. It IS harder than styrene. I used to find it useful at challenging gaps, like some nasty wing root ones...
