Guys

Where do you buy 'super glue' in bulk, ie not these pissy little tubes that go hard immediately you open them?

How much does it cost?

Cheap shop. 7 x 3gm tubes for $2.00.
Use once, then throw away remainder.

Fully agree with DavidG - if you do the maths on the big bottles, the 7 packs work out cheaper per gram and you never get lid-jam!:D

I will add that the quality of the cheap shop super glues varies considerably.
It pays to buy one card and test it out first.
If ok then I usually buy 10 cards at a time.

I have found most to be quite thin, which is good for fine cracks, but I have found some to be too thick to flow well.

As with most things you gets what you pays for, Good quality SG as sold by reputable people like Jim Carroll, in I think 40-50ml bottles is far better and much more reliable than the stuff you get in cut price shops. If you are filling large areas there are better and cheaper alternatives, such as epoxy etc.
