Here is the CA glue that I buy. You can also find it on Amazon.

Yeah, that's the stuff I'll be using. I just don't have a pipette. I need to cut some shellac and get better tape to do the job. I've been using green painter's tape and it's not doing the job because of spring back. Fortunately, I only have to do the rosewood back and sides but oil is still the issue obviously.

Here are pipettes that are small. You can further stretch them to make the delivery end really small. John Hall has a video on stretching pipettes. I'll find it and give you the link. I've bought 6 rolls of 3M 233+ tape, 18mm wide, from Ebay for $28.

try this with the pipettes
I am not kidding as I do this all the time. Take a pliers and pull the tip. This will make the
the pipette end very small for precise application.
try it and report back to me
