i agree with the future thing. use for anything like a hatch cover, control line grommet, or pe bezel, basically visual details that dont hold any weight .of course there are times when ca is necessary . i have a unique way, i save my empty tamiya extra thin cement bottles. when they are empty i rinse em with alcohol and leave open to dry. then i fill it bout half way with bob smith thin(blue bottle) you can then screw on the brush applicator top on and as long as it remains submerged the brush stays soft . it isnt the most precision applicator. for that i use a scrap piece of wire or whatnot. but for most things the tamiya brush works fine. i like the thin because if you over apply it a touch you can wick it up with a paper napkin which usually leaves behind a perfect amount. i almost always use kicker. and keep a bottle of pure acetone from the drugstore as debonder. that acetone works great to get it off fingers remove an accidental drip and to clean the brush occasionally. eventually the glue thickens i just dump out then old and refill with new. eventually the bottle will get crusty so i toss it and use another new bottle.you have to be careful to try not to get glue on the bottle rim or else it could get stuck on, dont knock it over or else you wont get the cap off either. all in all its what works for you. this is what i like.
for spandaus i have these resin flare supp tips which i drill and put a wire to sim the barrel. this is ca glued into a hole drilled in the plastic machine gun receiver. i then form my cooling jacket into a cylinder. i put it in place with the seam down and line it up with the wire barrel. run a bead of ca with my tamiya brush then i squeeze it closed and hold it in possition for a few secs.hit it with kicker. usually theres a tad on the bottom of the jacket. a couple swipes with a sanding stick and you are good. next i secure the gun on a strait pin as a stand. spray can tamiya black. this also paints the insides of the jacket if you do it right. when dry i use dry brushing with aluminum enamel paint to highlight raised details.to me they look great like this.
