Gluelits--It's probably been said.

Ok, so I was surfing various forums, google, etc. I decided to try my luck with some gluelits, and this is what I've found.

1. They're too much fun for a grown man to have. An old t-shirt suspended from a piece of wood is enough, provided it is not anchored at the bottom. It will "catch" the gluelit and often times the gluelit will stick, as the primer has heated the base some.

2. Use a really good glue gun. A good, high temp glue gun will fill out the mould much more readily. You don't want to have to mess with a cheap-o.

3. If you drill out the flash holes, it does stop the setback, but many times the anvil will leave the primer, so be aware that not just a gluelit is coming out the end.

4. Cleanup is not as bad as you'd think. A brass brush will scrape any smearing out of the barrel.
