Reviving an old thread....

Anyone have any idea about being able to buy cabinent flatpacks for Bill's designs, either ready-made as such or custom cut and shipped?

I'm struggling to find Loctite PL over here in the UK, I remember using something like Lumberjack for my Titans 13+ years ago - Just wondering if theres anything new on the market thats recommended

Google 'urethane construction adhesive'.

There are a few that pop up with that search all of which are available locally to me

Bison and Pattex have expanding PU glues that work well but I seem to remember they were not exactly cheap. I have used an expanding polyurethane glue from Soudal. Years ago it was readily available for me in continental Europe. It was cheap and worked very well. My Autotuba, T18, Omni's and SLA's have not come apart.

To the PL Premium-Situation in europe:
The Soudal-variant seems to be the ideal combination of availability and result.
The before mentioned Soudal 60A seems to be a region-specific naming and leads to polish websites usually.
The german version would be this: https://www.hornbach.de/p/soudal-pu-kon ... /10131305/ ; according to the datasheet: https://media.hornbach.de/hb/technicald ... 244487.pdf it has the desired foaming to fill in gaps and seems to be comparable to PL Premium.
And on a decent pricing, when taking a box of 12 cans they come in at 7,95 €/ per can (425g/285ml) including taxes, what seems to be the best available option for europe?

A pricing factor could be to ask at construction material retailers vs. the home depots of germany like hornbach; but i'd assume the margin wouldn't be that high.

It has been many years since I last purchased some Soudal 60A in Hornbach stores in the Netherlands. You may very well be correct in saying the 60A version is not widely available throughout Europe anymore. Right now I also cannot find the type you refer to in Dutch shops. It may not be sold here.

Also, it is worth noting that the cartridge you link to is larger than the standard 290/300g cartridges. It requires a larger "Kartuschenpresse" than regular tubes.

Last but not least: I did find some shops offering PU D4 wood glue in bottles rather than cartridges. It may be easier to apply. On the other hand a bottle allows fresh air to enter into the bottle every time you open it. Moisture in the air is what starts the PU curing process. For this reason PU glue may not last as long in a bottle as the cartridge versions.
