In the furniture making side of my life, I discovered
these blue silicone glue trays and applicators at Rockler Woodworking a
few years ago. They are great, and I use them all the time in the shop.
When done, you just leave the glue in the tray and on the tools to dry,
and then flex everything and the glue comes right off in sheets and
chunks. leaving everything clean and ready for reuse. While too large
for model making, it got me thinking. I found these silicone cup cake
molds at Walmart for $5.99 for a pack of 12. As you will see from the
photos, they work great! Now, if I could just find some tiny silicone
brushes!

Oh! .. and as a bonus ... I also found you can mix 5-minute
epoxy in them, and it peels right off after it has hardened!
