I thought I would let the discussion play out before I said anything.
I think the video's purpose is to show multiple uses of pipettes, not applying CA one drop at a time. If one hasn't figured out how to control the .5ml pipette to dispense one drop at a time, I think a glue looper is a good choice. I personally don't have any trouble dispensing one drop at a time. The beauty of the tool is one can see the liquid coming down the tube and use pressure on the bulb to control it.
Using the bulb of a 3.5ml pipette as a handle for a saw blade is interesting. And attaching the tube of a pipette to a glue bottle is interesting also. I often have very thin openings I need to saturate (not one drop at a time) with CA and using the techniques presented in the front of the video helps with that situation.

Thanks Peter,
I've been using Loctite Thin CA in the Control applicator. I may not gain any more control with other methods. But I continue to search.

StewMac has them. I got mine from Hobbylinq (just Google them). Just have not tried it yet. (Maybe with the power out this afternoon would be a good time to mess around with it).
Personally I find that fine control (consistently) with a pipette is challenging. Maybe it's due to deteriorating muscular control (I don't know). I use them all the time when I need a steady, but fine, stream of liquid.
I'll be interested in your take on it if you get it.
