Default Where's the epoxy at Wal-mart??

I've been flying for 9+ years now and have always purchased all my Devcon epoxy from Wal-Mart (30min) and have now been there twice looking for it and can't find it anywhere.

What's going on????

Wal-mart has never let me down.... but now I'm thinking otherwise. Does anyone here have the intel on the missing epoxy?

They quit carring it in place of Locktite. Which is twice the price. I use to buy lots of it at our Wal-Mart store. Pd. 1.98 for it. Locktite is 3.39. Lets strike Wal-Mart

I am pretty sure that ACE/Westlake hardware has the devcon. I think I got it there a little while back.

They DO have Gorilla Glue. (Home Depot). I've never checked for Epoxy. I usually get mine at the LHS, Ace Hardware, or Tower.

So, Bev, rather than flowers, you prefer a Coke, right?

I used gorilla glue once then it dried up solid in the bottle. Turned out being an expensive one time application. Wal-mart is letting me down I guess.

Hey Ken. You forgot to display the sacred coke bottle in the picture.

Also Why is the .50 cal have a blank firing adapter on it?[sm=what_smile.gif]

Bev. A bottle at 3AM? Why not get a 6 pack. That will save the 5AM trip.

[color=#FF0099]Cause I'm growing on ya "Irish"!!! Kind of like 2 part epoxy (see, I'm keeping with the theme of the thread!!!)

And while I'm at it, why can't anyone develop CA with a lid that keeps it from drying out so fast? ...Built in obsolescense???
