FAQs

What type of glue should I use?

The applicators are designed for use with UHU all-purpose solvent-free adhesive or PVA.

Can I use other types of glue?

It is not recommended to use liquids containing solvents, as they could damage the applicator.

How do I clean the applicator?

Clean the tip with a damp cloth or a suitable solvent, as recommended by your glue manufacturer. Make sure to clean the tip after each use to prevent clogging.

How long will the applicators last?

The lifespan depends on usage and how well they're cared for. The pack includes three applicators, providing ample supply.

Are these applicators safe for children?

No, these applicators are not suitable for children under 14 years of age.

Where can I buy the glue?

The applicators do not come with glue. UHU all-purpose solvent-free adhesive or PVA is widely available at most craft stores.

What kind of projects are these applicators best for?

They are best for detailed model building, particularly with Metcalfe card kits and mini laser cut kits, where precision is essential.

Troubleshooting

Glue is not flowing smoothly.

Check the tip for any clogs. Gently squeeze the bottle, and if needed, use a fine pin to clear the tip. Ensure the glue is not too thick; if it is, consider adding a small amount of water (if applicable to your glue) to thin it slightly.

Excess glue is being dispensed.

Apply less pressure to the bottle when squeezing. Practice with the applicator on a scrap piece of material to get a feel for the flow.
