Go to Sears, who still have Devcon. I absolutely HATE those mixing tube ones, because you have to use the whole thing up at once. You CANNOT re-use the tube, for obvious reasons. |

We've had those in Canada for quite some time now. Hate them. |

I hate the 2-in-1 syringe-type dispensers with a passion- in the 15 or so years since I first used one, I've hated them. Messy, tend to cross-contaminate even when you clean them compulsively, and store poorly even unopened- I've had two of them cure solid while still in the blister, both LocTite. Only reasons I even used them were that they're frequently the only option available locally, and occasionally, I've had a large enough project that I used more of the epoxy than I wasted. - Monk - Monk |

Ditto on using the two handled dispenser. Even Gorilla glue's version is a mess. The solution with GG is to cut the two sides apart and have two dispensers. Then they do not contaminate each other and you can get as much as you need. |

The syringe dispensers were all I seemed to be able to find here in central BC, and I hate them. They extrude the epoxy in uneven amounts and the syringe seizes up in storage. The old squeeze tubes were fine. I finally found an automotive two part epoxy in old style tubes and I've been using it for basing but its too thick for assembling fine parts. Bob |

I do lots of conversions of Pulp Figures (such great figs), and find that Gorilla Instant glue works really well. In the past I used only 2 part tube epoxy. For some hard to place items, I use tiny bit of contact cement on each part, then once together add a dab of the Gorilla instant. The Gorilla glue is good for heads, hands and small parts. I will use epoxy for larger areas such as making an officer for my Hinterland naval unit. Needed a woman with naval officer hat and skirt. Here is an example of head changes with Gorilla instant.

Do you mean the superglue from Gorilla? link |
| Bobgnar | 31 May 2012 8:18 a.m. PST |
Yes I mean exactly gorilla super glue. This is the best glue on the market 95% equal to two part epoxy, but so much easier to use than epoxy and easier to find I think. |

…and easier to find I think… Gorilla also makes a two-part epoxy, so they might be equally easy to find.  |

Which is why one should never simply say "Gorilla Glue", when he means the Superglue or the 2-part epoxy. All three, the Gorilla Glue, the Gorilla Superglue, and the Gorilla 2-part epoxy are available at WalMart. About 45 feet from the $5 USD Bin O'Bad Movies! |

Not at my Wal-mart…  (edit) Hmmm… the local supercenter has them. |
