QUOTE: Originally posted by cwclark next time try whittling a point on the sprue that fits in the hole with a hobby knife...it takes a lot of practice and patience with a lot of those little parts..i always try to see if the part fits before applying glue...another way to hold them is by doubling up some tape with the sticky side out ..stick the part to it and then try to put it in...windshild washers and anything real small and round are kind of tough to do but once they're in place and where i want them, then i'll apply the glue with a thin piece of spring wire dipped in the glue and then applied to the part...chuck
