Hallo!
How do you place superglue where needed?
I use toothpics or copper wire, but I cannot aceive decent results as, usually, I get a too big a drop. Is there some trik I can use?
thank you

I use a piece of plastic as a palette and the tip of an old number 11 knife blade to place the glue.

another trick is to make a hoop/circle out of the tip of the wire to hold glue. Make a small 1mm hoop. Put a larger quantity on a palette like Rudi said, then dip it in the glue and touch it to your contact point.

You can also use a sewing needle with half of the eye cut off .

Another good item to use is the flat end of an old drill bit, the smaller the better. It is usually perfectly flat and you get a very neat small drop of glue.
