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></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
