Helpful Hint
Model Master Liquid Cement for Plastic Models (One fluid Oz.) No. 8872C with its fine point applicator is a great product for model builders. No need to transfer cement from some container into a purchased fine tip applicator - this is done for you.
Its manufacturer Rust-Oleum Corporation (yes, Model Master is owned by Rust-Oleum) provides two methods of closing this one fluid ounce bottle: a black screw-on cap as well as a fine wire stopper. I prefer to use their wire stopper as I believe it is better at keeping air out of the Model Master bottle. And to avoid workbench clutter, I toss the black screw-on cap away.
Trouble is your wire stopper, left on your workbench, or anywhere for that matter, is easy to lose (harder to find). So what was my solution? I just attached a bit of blue masking tape to the fine wire stopper and my troubles were over. My wire stopper was easy to find every time.
An added benefit is that glue will not dry and clog your fine tip applicator.
