    Question What is 'Cascamite' glue?

    OK, its not directly a Triton matter, but I know there are some UK members on this forum, and I think I have a better chance of a sensable answer here ;-)

    What is 'Cascamite' glue? I know its not a perquisite of a Bishop - Is it the equivalent of a type I or II PVA? 2 part Epoxy? Liquid hide glue?

    I keep coming across it in UK woodworking books & mags, but there is never any susbstitute given, so I am at a loss as to what it is.

    Thanks in advance

    Cascamite was the name of a general purpose powdered resin glue suitable for all kinds of applications. It is now marketed as Extramite and I think it is made by Humbrol.

    It is mixed to a creamy consistency using water and makes pretty good bonds.

    Use Google and search for Extramite.

    Hope this helps!

    Many thanks.

    Looks like it is a generic Urea-formaldehyde glue, makes thinks easier.

    Cascamite is the trade name for a urea-formaldehyde glue....it was very popular in the 1960's.

    For the Aussies on here: It is not related to Vegemite and not marketed by Dick Smith.

    and here I was thinking it was glue for joining Cascamites.
