As the title says, what brushes are best to use instead of the one built into the bottle?
I find the brush too large and using a decent paint brush which goes hard seems a waste...

Get the stuff with the needle tube applicator I know airfix and revell do them, failing that dab some on a bit of card with the brush then use a cocktail stick to apply it.

Cut the supplied brush off & attach a better one with epoxy

I use an old synthetic paint brush, I would have to check the make.
It doesn't go hard, the cement just evaporates from the brush.

I use an old Revell brush (Size 0), with a bit of masking tape around the end so I don't use it for painting by accident.
I let it dry & then when I use it next, I just rub my nail through it & it is ready to go again.

I use Mr S Cement. The brush in those is smaller than the Tammy one and is one of its real advantages.

I like the replies here as I have used the odd brush as sometimes tamiya thin brush sometimes is a bit fiddly when you only want a tiniest of amount.
I like the idea of a dropper too and I'll have to look into that one ( saves the brush and the excess clean up
