[Nfb-krafters-korner] Hel need suggestionsp

[Blindhands at aol.com]

I am making these pins and I have purchased the pin backs that are 3/4 inch 
 long.  I need to glue the pin backs to a plastic cylinder.  So now I  
purchased a small hot glue gun and tried that.  Well yep I seem to be  burning 
my fingers if I put the glue on the cylinder and then pick up the pin  and 
try to find where I glued it.  I can take the burnt fingers, but if I  take 
too long to figure out where to put the pin back and where the glue is, the  
glue begins to cool and get hard so it won't stick properly.
 
So I tried Aleene's Tacky jar glue.  This I used actually one of those  
little plastic cheese spreaders that you get in those packages that have 4  
crackers and the smooth cheese you spread on the crackers.  Well I did a  
pretty good jjob putting the glue on and the pin back.  I even did not get  too 
much glue squeezing out under the pin back, but...  When I opened up  the pin 
back to pin it on the cards I have made up for the pins.  I guess I  didn't 
use enough glue as the backs came off the cylinders.
 
I figure I can give crazy glue a try, but any suggestions how to not get  
the glue dripping off the cylinder?  How to locate pin back to glue spot  
fast enough without seeing?  And how do I do this without gluing my fingers  or 
pin or pin back to the above mentioned places?  I can easily clean the  
glue that I have used so far off the granite counter, but I need some  
suggestions here.
 
Help, Help, Help!
