On this side of the pond many of us use a brushable superglue product such as Loctite. Unfortunately the little blue bottle pictured in the link has a lousy brush and dries out quickly. They sell a no spill bottle version with a better applicator and seal in the States which is excellent (pictured below), but it's not available here in Canada.

Hi Aaron,
Yes, that is what I've got, and I asked because yesterday, when I came to use it, the brush was horribly gunged up.

Anyway, back to the flies. Yesterday's Bloated Red Midge has been on a crash diet, and has re-emerged, so to speak, as.....

Skinny Red Midge

Elmer's Products, Inc. (of the Elmer's glue fame) makes a product marketed as Instant Krazy Glue Brush-On in a tip-resistant bottle with a top/brush combo that doesn't dry out or gum up.

Just had a quick google and we don't seem to have that in the UK.

Thanks for the tip. It looks like I might find it on this side of the border.
