Does anyone know a good way of keeping these needle points un-blocked?

They are quite good but most of the time they get blocked like a prick...

Thanks

Use a cigarettelighter or a match to burn out the blocking glue. Take a bit care.... it tends to "Afterburn" a bit, like a rocket engine.....

Oh and euhh remove the needle before u start wth fire..... Hold them with a pair of pliers ore something. hey get very very hot very very fast !!

For regular platic cement, stick aome wire down the needle and make a loop. With just a small twist the wire will come out and your tube is clear. Just make sure your wire is a snug not tight fit. Don't know if you can do the same with super glue, You might want to remove the needle when not in use and stoppper the bottle. Clean out the needle part with solvent after use.

Hey bro,

Be carefull with the lighter method!

As you did not indicate what glue you are using, when this burns, the vapor coming off may burn the eyes. For example, the cyano glues cause an acid burn to the unprotected eye.

My 2¢ worth of wisdom.

Now, back to the chemicstry lab......... #:-) #:-)

Thanks for the insights

wow i'll have to watch out for that one cdave

I'm using the regular plastic cement type glue, the blue Revell one atm

Looks like a lighter seems the way to go so far
