Question Applying glue - trying Q-Tips and so far it works well

Applying PVA glue I have been trying Q-Tips and so far it works well. Put some PVA on an old plastic business card. Wipe the Q-Tip thru it and then apply. To me it helps control jow much I put on and distribute it evenly. Tried the "sticky fingers" Tip in this forum but so far I am liking the Q-Tips.

Any other good ideas?

Sounds like it is worth a try.

I use hypodermic needles to apply craft glue. For years I've used the blunt needle type from an ink cartridge refill kit, but of late I've obtained some smaller, sharp, narrower needle medical type which can access narrower gaps and deliver even smaller blobs of glue. I also use the side of the needle as a spreader. being stainless steel they easily wipe clean on a tissue.

And no, they are not expensive ... wish.com give them away if you just pay postage. Ya just gotta wait a while for them to arrive from the Far East. usually a week or three.

I use a plastic toothpick that looks kind of like a hockey stick.
