If you work with a lot of metal, or resin or build MDF buildings or do a lot of basing using superglue for larger rocks and etc. get yourself a pack of these. They are called glue loopers, fairly expensive at 25 leafbucks for 10 (I may have been paying a premium). However, in the middle there you can see one attached to a handle and that is the first one I broke out of the package and I've been using it for nearly 4 years now almost every day. They're designed for superthin superglue but you can use any cyanoacrylate. The advantage lies in using a thicker super glue to tack the resin, metal or whatever material into place, and then using the superthin to really bolt it down. Works just like your standard tamiya extra thin, except obviously it is metal instead of a brush. You just touch it to the seam and it flows right in. For thicker glue, they are handy for precision gluing if you do a lot of sub-assemblies where painted parts have very specific contact points. They make ones specifically for drawing thick lines of thicker cyanoacrylate but I have not bothered with them because the standard ones work for that purpose fine. Burn off excess or dried glue and you're good to go. They come with 4 small sized, 4 medium and 2 large. They're designed so you can stick them into a shitty hobby knife handle, I use the ones from the dollar store. Or you could also use some wire and a pencil or other piece of wood if you wanted a parallel handle for it, or otherwise if you want to save a dollar or two for a soda.
All in all highly recommended they last forever, pretty sure they are made of steel and if you use superglue a lot in your basing or otherwise you should grab yourself some because you will end up using it nonstop.
Not a shill, just like to share effective tools with other hobbyists when I can.
