Tightbond II seems to be the popular alternative to Triton.

Cool, thanks for this. Have heard of Titebond, so will probably go with this - just haven't seen it in my local Bunnies.

I think carba-tec in springvale stock it.

So, does anyone know either:

(a) is it still available anywhere (in Melbourne, preferrably)...maybe some out of the way place someone knows has some old stock? or

(b) what would be a good substitute? I've looked at Bunnies and Mitre10 but neither seem to stock anything similar.

I know a product for building wood models - Great Planes - but it's very expensive for a small bottle.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks,
Darren

Bostic made Triton glue for Triton Manufacturing in Melbourne Vic.
They call it AV 180 and is available in 500Ml or 5LTR containers. It can be purchased at Bostic suppliers or cabinet makers suppliers

Weldbond yellow glue was just a couple of shades better than the triton stuff.
