Zap Flexi-Tips
Precision Application for Ultra-Thin Adhesives
Flexi-Tips are designed for the hobbyist who demands absolute precision. These specialised, flexible extensions fit over your Zap bottle nozzles, allowing you to navigate into, under, and around complex structures. While they work with most Zap products, they are the ultimate companion for Ultra Thin Zap CA, providing total control over its water-like viscosity.
Why Makers Choose Flexi-Tips:
- Maximum Agility: The flexible design allows the tip to bend into awkward gaps without moving the bottle, perfect for intricate scale builds.
- Micro-Drop Accuracy: Engineered to dispense the smallest possible droplets, preventing excess glue from ruining delicate surfaces.
- Zero Waste: Replaceable tips ensure that a dried or clogged nozzle never ruins a full bottle of adhesive. Simply swap the tip and continue your project.
Targeted Applications
RC Aeroplanes & Helicopters
The perfect tool for "wicking" glue into pre-assembled balsa joints. When using ultra-thin glue, a Flexi-Tip allows you to touch the exact corner of a joint, letting the glue pull itself into the wood grain without spilling onto the surrounding area.
Scale Detailing & Intricate Repairs
Excellent for attaching photo-etched metal parts, cockpit instruments, or repairing fine jewellery. The narrow aperture of the Flexi-Tip restricts the flow of thin glues, making it much safer to use around painted finishes.
Pro-Tips for Controlled Glue Flow
- The Thin Glue Essential: Don't let the low viscosity of Ultra Thin Zap CA intimidate you. By adding a Flexi-Tip, you can dispense the glue one tiny drop at a time, exactly where you want it.
- Universal Compatibility: These tips fit over the standard nozzles of almost all Zap products (excluding PT-25X), including Thread Lockers and the Rail Zip corrosion inhibitor.
- Customisable Flow: Need a slightly heavier bead of glue? Use a sharp pair of hobby scissors to snip the end of the Flexi-Tip back. This increases the diameter of the opening for thicker liquids.
