| Hi there,
I would keep the thin stuff for long sections where you can make good use of the capillary action.
For small stuff, the size that demands tweezers, squeeze a couple of drops onto a pieces of scrap and dip the new part so that the back just gets a wetting, then transfer to the model.
You can use any grade doing it this way but i now prefer the thick stuff as it tends to stand up on the scrap, making the whole process a little easier. It also stays put on the scrap so you get less sticky finger syndrome when you forget and try to move it to a safe place.
If the parts are really small i use a dressmakers pin to transfer the glue to the model then affix the new part with the tweezers/ other pin.
Trying to glue direct from the tube (especially so with the thin stuff) is fraught with danger, though it can be done if you use the extensions that sometimes come with the glue. I find them of limited use as the glue is difficult to see.
