Keep your glue tubes unclogged.

I have been building car models since i was 10. The think what really aggravated me was the glue build up and the clogging on the tip. I found an easy way to keep the tip clean everytime i need it. Just go to your mom's sewing kit and get a needle. (or you can get em out of dem dare fancy shirts too) Just make sure it has a head on it. Then carefully push it through. Once in awhile it will bend so be careful. Get it started then turn it upsidedown and push the cap down. This keeps the tip clean and build up stays at the bottom of the tube spout . This make its real easy to grab and pull off when it collects and dries.

Thanks for the tip and welcome to the SSM community!

So how long have you been building models?
