loctite 420 who sells it?
« on: December 09, 2010, 07:05:00 PM »
i have been to home depot, lowes, tru value home center, michaels craft store and a local hobby shop. no one carries it. i thought for sure the hobby shop but they carry their own brand of CA glues. thanks, don.

No Kidding.  I saw this mentioned in one of the TBB's and I've never been able to find it either.  I did find a nice ultra thin super glue through my local specialty hardwood store.

i found ultra thin CA glue at the hobby shop mentioned in my post. the set up time is 3 seconds. i can see it now. i'll glue my fingers together as well as gluing the bow to myself. i'm not giving my wife that kind of ammo to use against me. don

According to a web search, Walmart.com carries it.. so maybe walmart has in stock?

And Sears.com has it as well.. so maybe in store there?

Worth a call.

I am suprised Tur-Value did not have it.  They usually have all the off the wall stuff.

McMaster Carr in Chicago use to. Ask over on the Bowyers Section. I'm sure someone there, has a source for it!

wicking means its thin enough to work by capilary action. from what i read on the stuff , you can put your pieces together , and squeeze the glue along the side , and it will wick into the cracks and stick like that.

im sure theres limitations , but thats the sort of thing you look for when fixing a crack in a limb. it will get down into the crevices and whatnot.


with a dry time of 3 seconds , i dont see a lot of wicking going on . maybe in more non-porous surfaces such as glass , but wood is a little iffy for me.

hova, the 3 second stuff was at the hobby shop. it was their own brand of CA. the wicking type is what the 420 is. thanks for the info on wicking. ricky, great k-mart is closer. expensive stuff. walmart wants $15+ sears wants $19+.

yeah i remember it being some crazy price , i thought they had it marked wrong...


looks like they called it 420 for a reason (obviously they are smoking something to charge that much)
