Keep Faller Expert open
I love Faller Expert cement for
many uses. What I haven’t been
too happy with was its ten-
dency to set up in the needle
applicator and render a $5 bot-
tle of cement worthless.
I got the suggestion from another
modeler: use a 0.015" diameter
wire to keep the needle clear.
I’ve now abandoned the rub-
ber tops and make sure that I
“burp” it every time. I just use a
piece of berryllium copper wire
(Tichy Train Group) with a bit of
blue tape on the top, to prevent
stabbing myself with the wire,
as my stopper. No need for any
other stopper, unless it is going
to be unused for months. Always comes out.
Hint:
the wire is a bit longer than the needle tube, so it extends
into the bottle proper.
