I must be on a roll, another review.
A big reminder folks, it's my opinion!!
The Glue looper by Creative Dynamic
Bought this from John, there are a few versions for different types of glue, this is for thin CA or thin plastic glue. Always had problems applying CA, all my fault!! so giving this a whirl!
Looked at this a while ago but at the time hard to find. Comes with simple instructions, 7 looper but no handle.
Used a xacto type handle, the looper comes with foldable end to make it thicker and tighter in the handle
You can see above it has two prongs, the instructions say to just touch only the lower prong in the glue. This is bit fiddly at first, easy to put both prongs in the glue and flood it.
I used first with AK very thin plastic red glue
Above you can see how the glue has filled the reservoir. However by the time I tried to glue plastic it had gone off lol. Used a lighter and flashed the prongs to clear it.
Then used thin CA, small puddle In a old Pringles lid, lightly dipped the lower prong into the puddle. Used scrap plastic and very quickly was able to put four drops of CA, large to small on a row
You may have to expand the photo but they are there honest. The reservoir holds enough for at least 3 to 4 good applications of CA.
Stuck various bits of PE to plastic. Personally I am impressed, was able to see the CA going on using capillary action, leaving only slight residue. Will use it on KGV. With regards to using extra thin plastic glue, i think you will have to be quick, i found it dried on the looper very quickly.
Previously I have attached PE but left behind large CA residues, much neater.
initially found it a bit awkward to angle the looper to get the lower prong into the glue, but got there in the end.
Remember to clean the prongs, I used a lighter flame on a regular basis, I could here the glue crackling as it burnt off. Mr Race has also bought one, do not know how he's getting on with it??
Only my opinion folks, there are much better modellers and CA users out there!!
