    Hi John
    VMS do a range of CA glues. I have a few and find them good. I like VMS stuff. John has a good range in the shop. Worth looking at I think.

                  Fair enough mate, i only really use it for the odd small bit of PE and sticking the little blokes on their coin bases…..for any bigger joints I use Devcon epoxy which is much more cost effective.

                        Wow , that's good enough for me then Dave if it lasts that long. Is it the thin type?

                          The problem I've been having work CA glue is that it always dries out once open. I've even tried the putting it in the fridge trick.

                              This is the thin variety. There are a lot of sellers, prices go up & down -
