Where to Find Plastic Resin Glue?

I can order it. Do any hardware chains or home building supplies stores carry this?

I'm in the great city of Rocky Mount so retail options are limited.

I get mine from Jamestown Distributors. http://www.jamestowndistributors.com...tic+Resin+Glue

I've also seen it is some oldtime real hardware stores but be careful about how old it is.

To add to Howard's comment:
On DAP Weldwood PRG there is a sticker on the container with a 7 digit code. Ignore the first 3 digits. 4th is the year. 5-7th is the Julian date. Toss it after 12 months.
Most bigger Ace Hardwares carry it.

Great info on the date code. Ace hardware nearby says they carry it.

Should be gluing up tonight or tomorrow!!

PRG = Plastic Resin Glue.
Is that the same as Cascamite that used to be on the market? The brown stuff that's mixed with water?

I had wondered where I'd buy some, now I think by calling it a different name, the same old stuff is on the market about anywhere.

I've got a Workrite wood welder and while the titebond 3 sort of works, it is a little gummy and I've gotten to miss the lack of cold flow for Cascamite.

It is available from Woodworker's Supply (online or at Graham store) in 5-lb tubs for under $25.

Thanks for that.
I really handn't considered the places that cater mostly to the hobbiest, but I guess that things have evolved some in both directions. Its good to find industrial grade supplies there.

I get mine from Ace hardware online - It's about 25bucks for a 5 pound bucket of DAP weldwood.

You can also get Unibond (A liquid you mix with a powder) from Vacu-Press.

Hope this helps

Thanks for all the helpful posts.

I got the DAP Weldwood PRG but didn't see a date code. It was very dry, very fine powder so I reckon it's good. I mixed a batch 5 parts powder to 2 parts water by volume and stirred it up good. Pretty easy to work with and planty of time to assemble everything.

After I finished I put the tub in a ziploc and evacuated most of the air. Hope it keeps for a while.

If it mixed well and was not gritty you're ok.
