Fish aren't my only hobby, I've got other local stores to support as well. If I save a few bucks in the process it's win win!

I love the Ecotech glue and plan on buying another. Sweet having that much at your fingertips (or in my case ON my fingertips) vs the loctite I used to buy (very small tube contained within the fancy squeeze bottle).

thats pure hog wash. maybe if you buy a tiny tube, but anything gets cheeper with volume.

Lee Valley sells super T which is a molasses consistancy for 8.60 for 29.5 ml. and there not the cheepest place to buy stuff.

Well I live outside the city so for me tO spend 20 bucks on gas to buy a 20 dollar bottle of glue at a lfs. In which case I can't leave with just glue usually ends up in 100 bucks or more spent. Lol

Local home hardware loctite is 7 bucks. I think that's a better idea

I use ZapGel sometimes when I make an order. Otherwise thick gel superglue from the dollar store, for a dollar of course.
