John, that's the only one I make. Brewed in the kitchen sink, the wife tolerates that.
I changed the name to Gator's Grip Hobby Glue some time back because there was a "Gator Glue" for use with wood flooring and I didn't want to have any confusion.

I am still using the first bottle of two I ordered quite a few years ago. As Julian said a little goes a long way.

The stuff works. I got two bottles. I had forgotten I had it and I was working on the mk37 pe/resin and was trying to put the pe armature on the resin gun director with ca and just before I threw across the room I remembered the gator glue. A little bit and I could maneuver the parts without sticking to everything. I'll bet it'll really shine when I get to railing.

Strange hobbies you Americans have: throwing gun-directors across the room
Of course Gator glue works, why do you think I recommended it

Hi guys
Kenny refunded my payment as he is not in production for a few months,has any got a spare one for sale or I could "borrow" and that I would replace when he restarts,I will of course pay all postage costs.
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
