I like syringes like these:

They don't hold as much glue, but it also makes them lighter and easier to maneuver. Just pull the plunger and fill from the back.

I use a thin white glue for most cardstock work, so I use a squeeze bottle with a syringe tip. I use either the side of the syringe tip to spread the glue, or the little bit of wire that goes into the tip to keep it from clogging.

I use cyanoacrylate sometimes, mostly to stiffen pieces before cutting out fine details. Straight out of the Dollar Store applicator.

With non-paper models, I use a lot of cyano with the Glue Looper:

I tried making one of these but after chasing the cat around the house for an hour with a pair of scissors I gave up and used a piece of .008 phosphor bronze wire.

I've used the toothpick in the past, and then I found this:

I've been using this squeeze bottle with a syringe tip. I mostly build with PVA/white glue, and it works like a charm. I have had to fashion a .032" tool to clean the tip out with.

Just checked the link, yes, the bottles do work great. Explored the rest of the products, good prices on the fiberglass/carbon kite tubes.

Thank you for the link!
