If you use it infrequently, shelf life is a consideration.
I have a couple of partial cans of the powder left over.
Possibly the catalyst (liquid) can be bought separate now.
It is an excellent product.

I was planning to repair it using T-nuts, but a product that can be used where CA glue would not be effective would be good. It sounds as though you use it a fair amount, right? How long has the small kit lasted for you? How quickly does it set up, e.g. for the lyre, or for S&S action brackets (I needed it for that on Monday!!)

I carry the small kit with me on my rounds, and have used it in customer's homes for repairing stripped screw holes, including stripped lyre screws. In fact, once I had to fill large sections of the underside of a keybed where the lyre had literally been torn out of the piano. You can mix it thin, so it will be self-leveling or run down into small hinge screw holes, or as a thick putty for working overhead, as on lyre screws. It's my method of choice for repairing stripped Steinway action bracket screws. It's not inexpensive, and it reeks like bondo on steroids, but I  I wouldn't want to be without it.
