Don't use the alcohol to melt tip top glue any more. A lighter is quicker and easier for me. Plus with a lighter I cannot be distracted to the point I forget the thing and leave it burning on the bench, which I admit doing. Those of us who are not old but have been young for a long time are sometimes easily distracted.

And I've recently given up on the thermoplastic tip top glue in favor of epoxy. Think it is the better option.
