« on: July 08, 2015, 02:15:00 PM »
what type of syringe do you guys use that have repaired cracks with loc tite 420 use..are they the blunt tipped craft type sold on *****/amazon or are they the medical grade type with the sharp needle points to penetrate the crack..?

I have only done it once but I used the nozzle on the bottle it came in, I was using super glue and it had a long tapered top. Worked just fine

x2 cept I've done quite a few times.

You can kinda smear it in with finger too.... at the same time smoothing the bead.
you'll have to do some sanding and refinishing either way to make it really pretty again.
