The glue is in an applicator similar to existing applicators except that an impellor powered with ingenious russian clockwork acting on kinetic energy released when you squeeze the plunger (ie:coiled spring) enriches the liquid glue with air bubbles.

This glue will dry very quickly because there is already air in the bubbles and less glue in the target zone. Cost effective and fast.

The long range bit was just for drama - I do have a few ideas for compressed air powered glue application from long range but its messy and should not be used by anyone under the age of 65.

While researching to see if anything like this exists I came across a scary link for Pneumatic Retinopexy so I figured something this simple wouldnt exist.

Could it be that mysterious HTML syndrom??? [Susan, Sep 12 2005]

How hard did you look? It took me two seconds to find the attached link. (First second was wasted on "foam glue.")

Your search - "ingenious russian clockwork" - did not match any documents...

It was a long shot, but I really hoped there'd be something there.

Susan: you need to check your typing - there's an "s" in the original link.
