Rick- If you can't find it in department stores check your local ACE hardwares. They stock it in my area.

There's a couple different "Dollar Stores" in my area that carry it.

But it's more than a dollar though! LOL!

I suppose the Duco manufacturer wasn't willing to sell it to Walmart for less than it cost to make it.  :saywhat:

They probably quit carrying it because it is the kind of glue people with little grey matter and a desire to have less might buy it to huff and get high.

This is where tradition comes in...the mom and pop hardware store has MOST everything I need for a project, in bulk I go to Menard's (started as mom/pop).
DUCO is available for them to order and most small shops are more than willing to help you out; for your business and word of mouth advertising.
My hardware store of choice is even looking into getting some ramin dowels into the store, cause I ask...
Now is the time to DO things, changing from
'big box' to small town is where we get the things we need, done right.

Wow, I thought my local wal-( chinese)-mart was the only one that quit handling Duco. Thank goodness Lowe's carries it.

Thanks for the tips, guys.  I'll check them out.  I know my Menards doesn't have Duco and last time I checked the Lowe's here didn't either.  I'll find it someplace.  I agree on the Chinese and small box sentiments.  That's the main reason I'll be sticking to TrueFlight feathers for my arrows.
