Hi I'd like to ask how you would put a droplet at high viscosity (say 2.5 million times more viscous than water) on a solid surface? The droplet would have to be small (volume less than 10uL, r<1.34mm)..
Thanks!

According to this you are talking about something like caulking...

Quite hard to control the volume or mass I suspect. perhaps look at some sort of screen printing process? Squeegee the material through a perforated membrane?

Perhaps look at how they fix silicon chips/die? Think they use small balls of solder paste?
 
sounds like the soldering paste used in SMD circuits, dispensed in Little doplets.
What about a siringe (or a soldering paste dispenser)?
