I stick the peg and cup into the glue tube hold, squeeze some glue up to cover the peg, pull the peg and cup out of the tube and stick on the pearl. Then I put the post in between the leaves of a table and put a book on the earring to weight them until they set.
Knotty,
if You perhaps mean "Vigor", I already have it. It is a superfast glue and as I have a pearl tweezer but am not used to use it, I am quite clumsy with it. So I try to take it between my fingers, but acc. to the above method I always end up in getting some of the glue on my fingertips, who than touch the pearl....
I am not certain I understand "between the leaves of a table"???
The advice with the book does sound great though, thanks a lot.
