Welder Glue?
Here is a list of places you can buy Welder glue:
In Store: Lowes OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware) Online: http://orders.homaxproducts.com/prod...c53a48ab2.aspx Original Post: Is this the stuff that everyone recommends? http://homaxproducts.com/products/Leadcheck/index.html I've seen pictures with a red tube? |

Lowes Home Improvement or you can buy it direct from here. The tubes I get from them are the red ones that most everyone is familiar with.
Welders Adhesive |

For EPP I tested this glue called Quick Grip. It works awesome. You can get it at any crafts store. Also they have UHU glue there. Lots of options for EPP. Welders is just one of them. There's a craft store a mile from my house. All sorts of glues there. Don't get hung up on Welders and spend $15 for a tube of it shipped. Quick Grip is like $3-4 for a 2 ounce tube. I actually made a test hinge out of it too. Works great. On my test piece of EPP, the next day I pulled until the foam started to pull apart. It wouldn't break at the glue seam. That was impressive. So I'm using it for gluing the entire plane. It's very similar to UHU pour but it might melt certain types of foam. Always test a piece first. EPP is no problem. It melted the surface of my Shock flyer test piece of foam. It's Depron. So this would be only for EPP so far. Quick Grip dries into a clear rubber. Very strong.
Another option is UHU Por. That's available at my local hobby store. The only reason I'm posting all this is because a bunch of my buddies and I bought EPP planes and can't find Welders glue locally. Our Lowes doesn't carry it. Both of the links below would charge me almost $8 for shipping. I'd just buy it at a local crafts store and save a lot of money. PS: Just got back from Walmart. They had Quick Grip in their fabric section for $1.97. Now that's a good price.....no shipping. ![]() http://www.oakridgehobbies.com/index...glue-2-oz.html http://www.save-on-crafts.com/quickgrip.html . |
