[QUOTE=bikerbc;11651044]I I love the smell but I cant get it too work any more .. I know how well it worked before years ago but something seems different .

As chuckk2 pointed out it is not the same product many of us remember. The organic solvent used in the orginal cement a wood cellulose, was 'toluene' and this is the intoxicant that the kids discovered years ago and some abused by concentrating the fumes. Perhaps although ignorant why I remember I enjoyed so much chewing off the dryed flakes of cement from my fingers after a build session watching the latest episode of Bonanza.

I don,t recall when the change occurred but it was some time back perhaps the seventies and the subsiquient product for me just was not the same so that triggered for me a change to other products.
