That depends...

For long straight styrene seams it's very effective. For gluing small parts, it tends to put on more glue that you'd want. You have to keep it moving and moving with the capillary trailing behind. If you reverse, you will introduce softened plastic into that tiny opening. It's clogging that's the big problem. Even being very careful, I've had clogging problems. If it's a small clog, putting the tip into the solvent cement and letting it soak for a while can dissolve it. But lately, it clogged and didn't unclog so I'm not using it any more. The tip is so fine a bore that you can't find anything to put in it to clean it out. Second problem is that it's a glass tube with the capillary epoxied in. If it drops on the concrete, it breaks. To fill you need to apply negative pressure and I do it with a syringe. I used to do it with my mouth, but tended to get chlorinated hydrocarbons in places that aren't so good so I stopped.
