Ambroid Pro Weld: Where to buy it?

[GMP440]

Does anyone know where to get Ambroid Pro Weld? None of the hobby shops here carry it.

I did a google search and found these.

Where do you live? I posted a topic a few months back asking how others had gotten their model supplies.In far away locations most said they have a hobby shop nearby.

There is something going on with this company. No of my 3 local shops that carry it can get it anymore. I highly doubt the links posted above have it in stock. A good alternative is Plastruct Bondene

According to my LHS the company only produces it a couple times a year with it currently being out of production.

Thought I read somewhere on this forum someone using MEK (methel Ethel keytone) as a substitute. Suppose to be the same thing and 10x cheaper available in hardware stores.

Model Cave, In Ypsilanti(?) Mich, has it. I just got 4 bottles from John. He has it in stock. PLUS itsa GREAT shop to visit.

You're right, it can be hard to get. My LHS had Ambroid, then Tenax, then Bondene, and now Ambroid again. FWIW, Ambroid is not the same as MEK. It is methylene chloride, and IMO is stronger and faster than MEK. I agree with Dale that Bondene is a good alternative.

Ambroid hasn't been in distribution for a while. Flex-I-file makes an alternative that's supposed to be the same stuff.

I haven't used it, but I'm told MEK is REALLY nasty stuff and must be used in a well ventilated area.

Hey George53 - how you been? I waved to you when we flew into Detroit last month.
