Simple pick-up tool.

Have you ever fiddled trying to get a tiny part in position on your new model ? a situation where even fine tweezers will not do the job,well the solution is simple and like all good tips was discovered by accident.
Next time that you have this problem just take a small piece of domestic Bluetak,place it onto the end of an old paintbrush ferrule and see how easy it is to pick up small beads,tiny parts that drop all over the floor and fingers that get glue all over them trying to position the part ! you just pick up the part sing the excellent adhesive qualities of this product,add adhesive & place into position,tiny clear landing lights and radio aerials are easily fitted in this way.
There are dozens of uses in modelling for Bluetak and this is just one of them.
