I've gotten it at Walmart and home centers for under $3. I don't use CA a lot, just for the occasional cracked flange or on Kawai's styran componants. If I feel I'll need my cold hide glue on a particular day, I'll throw it in my bag unless it's very cold out, then I carry it in an inside pocket of my coat, in a baggie. Mike why do you carry the PVCE? </div> <div> </div> <div>Mike<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Michael Magness<br>Magness Piano Service<br>608-786-4404<br><a href="http://www.IFixPianos.com">www.IFixPianos.com</a><br>email <a href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com">mike@ifixpianos.com </a> </div>
