You can get great glue syringes in the US in hobby shops. I got some that
are $ .79 each and come with two different size tips.
You can also get a lot of different sizes at animal feed stores. Not pet
shops but feed stores like out in the country a bit. They use them to give
medicine to horses and such and some are huge. I found however if you tell
them you are building and airplane they think you are a drug addict!!
