Simple Question: has War Glue gone belly up? Thought I'd buy some as I've used it before and it's quite good but the site, though superficially functional warglue.co.uk has no working pages beyond the landing page, so no chance to buy. Pro Temp I bought Gorilla Super Glue as well. Also good. John T |

I hope they've gone belly up. The owner skipped out on his advertising bill, had some lame story about how the fellow who placed the ad only worked in his office, but wasn't really his employee, was a con man, yada yada yada… |

Ahhhhh. Glad I bought a different product then! John T |

War Glue, I remember that discussion from, what, 4 or 5 years ago? What a joke that was. |

That's what I remember of them as well. |

Filla glue is good but try and get a recent batch as I bought a pack (different viscosities and powders) at Phalanx last year, but a lot of it was a little past it, the previous lot was very good. |

The Gorilla Superglue you picked up will serve you well. Forget WarGlue existed. |

The War Glue thread was definitely a TMP classic! :) |

Intersting. I've tried the filla glu as well and found it to be a good product. I still don't know if it's made by the same company as War Glue – it wasn't clear from this or the other threads. I used some of the filla glu with the coloured powders just the other day and found it to be a useful product. I do object to the sub-GW styled name, but that's just one of my peccadilloes. The Gorilla Super Glue (and indeed – in the right circumstances – the Gorilla original brown 'syrup' glue are both excellent products, I would agree. John T |

There's no connection between warglue and fillaglue in business or product terms. one of the 'gamers who supported/promoted (was con'd by) warglue was, off his own back, promoting filla-glue as a new, better product, but there was no business link or association of any kind. war-glue was bog-standard super-glue marketed as being "superior" and highly priced, but was bog-standard super-glue with no special qualities whatsoever. Filla-glue has a silly name but is actually a very good super-glue. |

Thanks for the info on this. On that basis, I will continue buying both Gorilla Glue Super Glue and Filla-Glu. The latter is a name that puts my teeth on edge but it is, when I've used it, good glue. I used it – the 'wicking' thin variety – with coloured powders (sorry: 'powdas') for repairing roads in the Captain Scarlet road racing game we did (with the black powder) and it worked very well. The Gorilla Glue Super Glue (along with regular 'orange syrup' Gorilla Glue) is good stuff too, as a quite thick, medium super glue with good shock resistance, and has the advantage that I can buy it from hardware shops rather than just wargames suppliers.
