I saw the modeling tip on the beer line video with Cody…he used a pipette to distribute the modeling cement on the ballast. Where do you buy that?
I thought Wal-fart or a craft store would have them locally, but never could find them so I ended up ordering them online here. And they are super handy to have in your arsenal.

Good luck.
Walmart has a big back to school sale on now. Buy a small Elmers glue for about 50 cents and use the bottle instead. Even if you pour out the glue, it’s still cheaper… and it holds more

I haven’t bought any in years and the last ones I bought I got from a now-defunct hobby shop.
I would think that almost any medical supply house or a pharmacy, particularly one located near a hospital, would handle pipettes. Check the craft stores – Michaels, Hobby Lobby; I’ve seen these used on scrapbooking programs on DIY channel. You might try Arizona Art Supply on Indian School just off of Central, Langert Brothers on West Camelback, there is a jewelry supply store on 44th street just south of McDowell. I know for a fact that Micro-Mark handles them because I ran into them browsing through their catalog I got in the mail about ten days ago. Walthers used to handle them but for the life of me I can’t seem to spot them in the '09 catalog.
Try to get glass pipettes if you can; they clean up better than the plastic ones.
I use eye-droppers. Not as long as the pipettes, but work the same. Got them at Wal-Mart in the medicine area. Not very expensive and you get two glass droppers, one with a angled tip and one straight. I couldn’t find them on the web site but they are called glass droppers by a company called EZY DOSE. The brand may vary from store to store and I’m sure you could buy them at any pharmacy such as Walgreens.
WORD OF WARNING though, they are obviously glass and rather thin glass of course. If you remove the bulb to clean on occasion as I do, the dropper may break. It happened to me so be careful.
I bought two 10-packs online from Cheap Joe’s art supply (http://www.cheapjoes.com/search/?keywords=pipettes). $3.19 a pack. A good deal if you are ordering other stuff to help offset shipping.
These are disposable pipettes but I’ve been using the same three pipettes for about 7 projects now. I use them for acrylic paints and thinner. They’re plastic so can’t use with laquers.

I have found that McMaster Carr has pretty much everything. You also could look in any science supply like Fisher Scientific etc. but more then likely you owuld need to buy case lots.
I had forgotten about the small glue bottle. I used this on my last layout and still had it in a drawer and it worked fine. thank you for all of the info on the pipeettes ill keep an eye out for them 
McMaster is the greatest! Every hobby I’ve ever been in, that place has been part of.
Try www.VWR.com. Since I manage a food microbiology lab, I’m surrounded by thousands of pipettes of various sizes. I have used pipettes for getting the precise amount of paint mixed to match existing colors.
Another thing that works well for ballast is a 60cc disposible plastic syringe w/o the needle tip. It’s about five inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter. This should be available at VWR also. One note: these companies are not cheap and they don’t sell just one or two. Everything is case packed and start about $125.00 for a case of 100.

In the baby section or the pharmacy department at your local Wally World (Walmart) for US shoppers (I know they have them in some countries), but a similar store should carry medicine droppers. They hold more than eye droppers, but they work great. They also come in handy for measuring paint/thinning agent for my airbrush projects. They’re kind of a pain to clean if you get paint in the bulb, but they DO have graduated lines (measured in cc’s) on the cylinders.
I found suitable pipettes at a Woodcraft store, part of a national chain. In the Phoenix area, I believe there’s one in Chandler.
It used to be even better when my old company paid for all my hobby needs in the name of research. Helped to have a fellow modelers for a boss too.
