Use these for dangle posts:


and these for regular posts:


For the glue posts, make your bead at the end of the mandrel, or off-mandrel and glue it to the pad. It's basically a mini cab.

Boy, when they say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions," they know what they're talking about! I've meant to take a picture of these for days now... here is one set I did on posts.
