<BR>The original question from Pierre Gevaert was:
<BR>
<BR>What is CA glue? Are there different qualitys or brands that are better to
<BR>use?
<BR>
<BR>So now we know that there are different thicknesses (qualities), but what
<BR>about brands? Are they all the same? I specifically asked about 'Zap'
<BR>brand, as i know that it is available close to home.
<BR>
<BR>I am guessing from Pierre's email address that he is Belgium, and it may
<BR>not be practical, nor probably legal to post chemicals overseas from U.S.
<BR>suppliers, so details are helpful for tracking down something suitable in
<BR>our respective countries.

<BR>There are several brands which I have used, Zap and Jet have been available at my local hobby store. Pro Bond is available through Schaff Piano supply. I have also seen a brand called, "Hot Stuff!". Drybaugh Adhesives offers the product in fairly large quantities. I usually just buy small quantities at the local hobby store because the shelf life is limited after the container is opened. Also, space in my tool kit is limited, so I prefer small containers. Large containers are best stored in the refrigerator or freezer to prolong shelf life.
<BR>
<BR>In my opinion, there is no real difference between the several brands of CA glue which I have used but others may say they prefer a particular brand. The brands which I know may not be available in Europe. Also, the kinds of retail or business outlets which sell CA glue may differ in Europe. There may be only one of a few brands available which are not known in North America. Sale and distribution may be controlled differently because of the potential danger of the substances.
<BR>
<BR>If anyone who reads this list in Europe knows how and where CA glue products and catalysts are available, please post the information here.
