Loctite 406
Hi
Does anyone know a reliable uk supplier of this glue ? It seems on the bay prices go from £2 to £20 ? Rs charge £30 ! It seems there might be a lot of fakes out there ? Cheers Pete |

Re: Loctite 406
I wouldn't rely on RS prices to be at the going rate!
I had some specialist glue recently as an 'equivalent' of a loctite product, and it came from a company called 'Mr Sticky' at a more palatable price. It might be worth having a look to see if they have an equivalent product. http://www.mrstickys.co.uk/ PS I've just looked on their website and they dont have the one I ordered on there so it might be worth a phone call.

Re: Loctite 406
I'm sure it's very good, but isn't it just another brand of cyanoacrylate superglue, in this case sold into professional markets?

Re: Loctite 406
BTW Rapid do 406 at £20 per 20g either seperately or as part of a kit for making rubber o-rings.

Re: Loctite 406
Thanks for all your inputs
I know some retailers really load on the price but I can't believe a difference of £15 ? I'm concerned the cheap ones are fakes ! I've already got some genuine Loctite 770 primer so wanted some genuine 406 to go with it |

Re: Loctite 406
Always be sure to check adhesives (glues ) for their product expiry dates. Some of them do not age well and cheap products could be expired stuff that is being dumped on the DIY market. I speak from experience.
