After picking up some needed Evergreen Styrene shapes I asked the clerk for two bottles of Tenax-7R. "Sorry Sir, that's been discontinued. The EPA says any item with a certain chemical which it contains can no longer be sold. We've been out for a while and there won't be any more."
Really!!!!! 
A ONE OUNCE BOTTLE of glue is going to destroy the planet!!!??? Am I getting old and cranky or is this regulation stuff getting totally out of hand? Now right in the middle of a build I have to find a liquid styrene cement that works as good as Tenax did! |
I bought a bottle of Tenax-7R a couple years ago and didn't like it, I think I still have it. I use the stuff BennyB linked to. I also buy a couple bottles at a time and do what IZZY and fhhhstix showed me, take plastic shavings and put in one of the bottles and shake it up and keep repeating the process until its real thick, makes the best putty ive found.
