another glue question (didn't wanna hijack frankiebe's thread)

I have not been able to find any ambroid pro-weld anywhere. From what I've heard it may have been taken off the market. However, I DID find a product called "same stuff professional plastic welder". It claims to be basically the same as ambroid pro-weld. Has anyone seen this?

Also, I've seen that Tamiya putty "basic type" is discontinued. What is a good alternative for this?

They must have been reading my posts.

No loss, IMO, since it was terrible stuff that dried instantly on contact with air. Try Bondo Spot Glazing and Spot Putty. It's easy to shape, sticks well to styrene, sands nicely, and dries in about 20 minutes. You can get it at auto supply stores like Pep Boys. Let us know how it works for you.

Am I repeating myself?

i would mix a bit of laquer thinner in with the tamiya putty to keep it liquid and its the best i have found in the hobby world. that means like you say theres better in the pro auto world. but i am going to miss the tamiya putty. sure beats whatever testors is selling these days. 2X the $$$ though.
