Anyone else having trouble finding Ambroid Proweld? It’s backordered several places around here. Production trouble or something maybe? They said they couldn’t get an ingredient or something I think.

Yup, here too. Also Alclad II has been banned from hobby shops. 3 city shops were pinched by the has-mat police. I like keeping a bottle of Pro Weld handy incase of a lid being left off, but no more.
Seriously Drew? Un-freakin’-believable.
Glad I stocked up when I did.
Yup, Abbotsford, Richmond and Burnaby shops got pinched. Fortunatly our favorite shop found out and ‘hides’ his for the known customers[;)]
That (the ban) is just plain stupid, in the strictest meaning of the term.
He’s da man!!!
I agree totaly Ross. They focused on Alclad, but didn’t bother with the bottles of Testors Laquer thinner, or metalizers. What’s the diffrence? Nothing- to this cowboy![:(!]
Why were those products banned? Are they banned every where?
The Ban appears to be a Canadian thing. I just picked up some here in Atlanta today and the LHS knew nothing about it. Try ordering it from the States or getting someone here to send you some.
No, seems to be more of a local thing the more I hear about it. Just some “new to the job” compo employee wanting to make a name for themselves in all likelyhood. I get that it’s dangerous, but why they focused on Alclad is anyones guess.
If you cant find a plastics supplier, Home Depot sells soemthing similar with their pre cut glass, lexan and acrylic sheets. Ill check it out tomorrow and have the name and price.
It’s so frustrating to hear about a ban or require ID on useful items just because a handful of total certified morons want to use them in a harmful way. It’s also so considerate that governments want to protect their citizens from accidently harming themselves with unsafe products. I’m sure losing a tax generating source has nothing to do with it.
I just cannot get Tenax to work for me. I first tried to use it like regular glue and spread on one half of a pair and then press together, obvisously it didn’t work very well.
I then learned that you are supposed to hold the halves together and run along the seam where they meet. TOTAL disaster!!! I gotta work on the dexterity thing.
Until them I’m staying old school and using the good ole reliable Testors tube cement I grew up with. It works for me!
I’m gonna have to ask a newbie question so sorry everyone. Tenax sounds interesting but why use it compared to tube cement or CA? With everything everybody has posted it sounds pretty cool.
