Ca recycling tutorial :>)

[ctEaglesc]

In case you didn't realize it I use a lot of CA.
I have recently started recyling CA in some instances where it doen't have any effect on the piece..
Before I glue my tubes I "seal" the inside with thin CA.Some always runs out the other end.
I took a bar of parqaffin and hollowed out a recess and then a trough on one end.( make two of these)
When I drizzle the CA into one I try to "aim" it on the end of the other blank.When I have finsidhed with the first blank I set the second blank in the othre trough and pur the first one onto the second.
Today a light bulb went off.
I absent mindedly picked up an empty CA bottle with a rat tail on it.
When I squeezed the tube( next to my ear and realized it was empty but not clogged) I set it down.In the process of drizzling the blank, I wondered if I could use the empty bottle with the "rattail" like a baster and "suck up" the glue that I had already used and was sitting in the paraffin trough.
It worked like a charm.
I make my own rattails from aquarium tubing by heating till "clear" with a lighter(zippo of course, only what real men use)and stretching it till I have 2 tails. when the cool I cut them in half.
BTW, after the glue in the blanks has set I give the inside a shot of accelerant and redrill.
I haven't thrown out an empty glue bottle but never knew why I was saving them.
until today

How about because you a cheep. [] Come on that was to easy.

I use a torch to light my smokes. Good well aged cigars. If only my hair aged as well as my cigars!!! And it can solder to. They now make a butane insert for zippos so you can be styling and have a good ligher.
